By now, the audience has doubled waiting with baited breath. Ahhh, look, I'm sorry girls, it's a trade secret, I can't tell you.

you smooth talking dog.....
i'm gunna remember that ..it had better work

After the diamonds keep them interested by explaining the designer Tantric sex chairs you make

I think it depends on the individual persons interest and has very little to do with professions. My accountant BIL is always interested in what I'm up to in my shed. Even amongst ourselves our interests differ considerably. I know people who are into metal work and glaze over as soon as I mention wood work. A wood worker I know glazes over when I talk about making tools and jigs - he said, "What's the big deal, haven't you heard about bunnings?". I certainly glaze over when pen makers start talking . . .
