Got this snippet of an idea while reading a Terminator/Buffy the Vampire Slayer crossover. Not going to do anything with it (for hopefully obvious reasons), but I figured I'd share because I found it amusing.

If we're just going to throw around random off-topic ideas...

Awesome day jobs:

  • Travelling high quality kaleidoscope and donut salesman.
  • Travelling thyme salesman. (The number of puns here will last you a lifetime.)
  • Epistemic rationality doyen.

Other ideas, anyone?
