“Moving Heavy Objects Allowed Me To Feel Manly In The Eyes Of Other Men. With The Women It Didn't Matter, But I Enjoyed Subtly Intimidating The Guys With Bad Backs Who Thought They Were Helping Out By Telling Us How To Pack The Truck. The Thinking Was That Because We Were Furniture Movers, We Obviously Weren't Too Bright. In Addition To Being Strong And Stupid, We Were Also Thought Of As Dangerous. It Might Have Been An Old Story To Patrick And The Others, But I Got A Kick Out Of Being Mistaken As Volatile. All I Had To Do Was Throw Down My Dolly With A Little Extra Force, And A Bossy Customer Would Say, Let's Just All Calm Down And Try To Work This Out.”
