While at the academy, some of our instructors told us that they never mentioned what they do to people and always told people other things. I do this from time to time, my go-to ones are;
Normally when I'm out and about at the bars in Tucson, I tell chicks I'm a dolphin trainer. There are no dolphins at any zoo in Arizona, this is unimportant. When the girls debate on if the Tucson or Phoenix zoos have dolphins, I usually respond with something along the lines of "oh really, my job doesn't exist? And when was the last time you were at the zoo, 7th grade?" And more often than not, thats pretty accurate. They love it and I roll with it throughout the night. My favorite so far was when one girl sent me a text a few days later, "Sooo, im at the zoo right now, I was hoping to see you. There are no dolphins. Asshole."
When I go out in the town directly across the border from where I live, I tell people that I am a flight instructor as there is a flight academy here in town.
