Well...Jim...that makes you one of the FIRST fun people!!!! And, we still dont know for SURE what exactly you do for a living!!!

Personally, I think you are a Military General Practitioner....others have mentioned that they think you are a dentist....while MOST just think you're a freakin NUT!!! Okay...Im lying...I might be the only one who thinks youre nuts!! But if I had a family Doctor who was as funny as you...I might would actually go in for a check up once in a while!!!

Will you ever spill the beans? Will we ever actually KNOW what you do for a living? Why must you be so dang mysterious? Are you the Hawkeye character I imagine you to be?
