Erwerbstätigkeit gestattet
an early morning meeting with one Frau Breter of the Foreigner's Office resulted in the boundless expansion of my employment opportunities here in the Hauptstadt. where previously i had been confined, like a indentured servant clad in ill-fitting rags, to a specified digital drudgery at a specified electronic workhouse, i can now be gainfully employed in any number of productive and profitable occupations. gravedigger, prostitute, informal collaborator, back-alley abortionist, cabaret psychic, cosmonaut, or tinpot tyrant - my options are limited now only by my fevered imagination!
Good thing I'm leaving not only the city, but the country. That is very frightening news indeed!

They all sound like excellent opportunities. I wish you all the best as you start off down a new career path. Can you take me with you?

Congratulations! I think you would make an excellent prostitute.

Flattery will get you everywhere!
BiB, how much of you do you think we can fit into an battered old cardboard suitcase that reeks faintly of spoiled cabbage?

Actually, a *grave-digging* prostitute might well fill in a heretofore unexplored niche!
