the class reunion question

class reunion
what do you do?

What do you do?
What do you do?
What do you do?

Is there not one more interesting question to ask?

I am a secret agent. Smug look.
Astronaut. Sure.
Celebrity psychic. I laugh.
Famous novelist.
Apparently not famous enough.

There are no truth tellers here.
In a weird way, it is refreshing to see they are still liars.
