We'll see how long this lasts
I tried up upload this to YouTube, but I was foiled by its anti-copyright filter. Anyway, I re-edited a scene from 24 because it's how it played out in my head when I saw it.

First job?
So.. what was your first job?
I used to caddy for a summer in 7th or 8th grade. The golf bag got pretty heavy after 4 hours and 18 holes. I think it paid $10 or $15 plus tip. To get "hired" (get your name on the list of approved caddys) you had to take a short test that asked questions like what par, birdie, eagle, and bogey were. I don't remember any other questions but I'm pretty sure they didn't even grade them. Then you just showed up in the morning and sat around until you "got the call." I think I was pretty nervous the first time out. I just didn't want to sneeze and make someone mess up. It was kind of fun though, even though I don't know how to play the game.
