I would love to be Wine tester, if I have to be a food tester of some sort.

I would hate to be some kind of personal assistant that has to find out whether the President of some darn exotic nation were trying to poison my Head of State. No matter what, I would always be the one who ended up dead.

I would like to test anything that doesn't have veal in it and the handful of vegetables that I can't spell correctly that I also do not like.

I truly think I missed my calling as a beer tester. :?

I'd be a candy tester, the person that rates the very best in the world.

I'd hate to be a dog food tester. Ya, it's probably not that bad, but it's also not my cup of tea.

Vautrin, you crack me up.

Me too, that's one job I would definitely work overtime...talk about job satisfaction. I think I could also do well as a chocolate tester.

And what would you do in your free time then? Running around like mad, in order to lose weight? I'd rather prefer to do the running around like mad during office hours - i.e. to get paid to lose weight.

Let's see... I would like to be:

- an icecream tester
- whiskey cream teaster
- cake taster
- whipped cream tester


I would NOT like to be:

- a steak taster (I cannot stand rare meat, I am very specific about the way I like my steak )
- strong alcohol taster (like brandy or whiskey or vodka)
- a sushi taster (they can be poisoned)

I'm already doing that now since I quit smoking. I need a new bad habit that makes me loose weight.

I know when you test wine...you swish it around your mouth and then spit it out. I wonder if other food testers do that?

If I were food tester, and I did not like my boss, I might ;-) .

Yup, that's the way to do it. You still get highly intoxicated, even if you don't drink the wine, in case you're wondering.

Interesting twinkle. Next question: does this testing, instead of drinking the wine lead to a reduction of weight?
