Dear Pungents: I work at a school for children with special needs. In a country where the finance industry is such a mainstay of the economy, I feel like people think less of me for not working in banking or in business. What can I say to shut them up? ~ Kimberly Exactobrew, Cayman Islands
AS THE PUN GENTS SEE IT:
1) “Do you think we live in the Payman Islands?”
2) “My husband and I do enough bonking – I don’t need to do it all day at work!”
3) “I already act like a bank employee. Whenever one of my special needs kids throws things, I have to teller to behave herself!”
4) “Mortgages? There are more gauges to a healthy society than that!”
5) “Yes, I’m a trader – I’m a hawkupational therapist!”
6) “Enough teasing – don’t make me get fis(i)cal!”
