I cannot say I have that ability. Sure, I get a lucky guess from time to time when I meet a guy with an obnoxiously 'big ego' I might say "Are you a broker... salesman perhaps?"

Typically, I'll hit the nail on the head with that comment... especially if their cologne is strong enough to bring tears to your eyes.

I've lost count of the number of times I shook hands with a guy like this and 'first chance' went to the washroom/sink to wash the cologne smell off my hands!

So, I'm intrigued with some of the bloggers' daytime gigs here... take for example Drac. That demonic persona doesn't work any more. His poetry is too good. He's probably submitted poems to Hallmark for years only to be rejected way too many times.
I say he's truly a people person. You know, like Freddy, the manager of the Dry Cleaning store on 42nd and Riftkin Lane. He's just the guy who's memorized every coat and shirt in the building and remembered not to over starch your white shirts like they did the last time... because a happy customer is a good customer.

Occupations... some people fit the part.
