Me:    So what do you do for a living?

Them: I’m a typesetter.

Me:    Really. They still have those? Where do you work?

Them: In the 1700s.

Me:    OK. Well that’s a long way from here. How do you get there?

Them: Time machine.

Me:    Why don’t you get a job in the here and now?

Them: Because they don’t have these type jobs here.

Them: I’m a word processor.

Me:    Hmmm. Never heard of that. Where do you work?

Me:    Why don’t you get a job in the here and now?
