AWPC: Stranger Than Most

This kind of thing happens all too often.

Guy1: While she tells me a gut is not a deal breaker, I'd prefer to keep it under control.

Guy2: I don't have to worry about that. I had a gut when I met my woman.

Jake: I was over 300 pounds when I got married, so I really have nothing to fear.

Guy2: You were 300 plus pounds? What happened? I mean, how were you 300 plus pounds and how did you get to where you are now?

Jake: I used to have two desk jobs. I was a graphic arts director for the State of Minnesota during the day and taught Video Game Animation and Design in the evenings. Both are sit down jobs at a computer. Then I quit both of those jobs, spent all my money in a year, found out I needed a job, and got one where I got paid so little I could hardly afford to buy food and had to work my ass off every day.

Guy1: Working with us.

Guy2: Wait. You used to be a Graphic Arts Director and a Professor? How did you end up on maintenance with us?

Jake: I still haven't figured that one out.

Guy1: Jake is possibly the strangest guy you'll ever meet. Oh, and he's an ordained minister, too.
