What Do You Do?

Marcel Duchamp, whom most people think of as a fixture in the world of fine art during the period before 1940, when asked the question, “What do you do?”
He would answer, “I am a respirator” (a breather).  He went on to explain that since he did more breathing than anything else, he was very good at it.  –Robert Fulgham

It is a good practice to review that we do with our lives.  More often than we care to admit, it has little or nothing to do with how we earn a living.  Why then respond by stating our job?
