Part 2
On the other hand I mused, the ? more likely indicated a query as to the meaning of 'fangler'. Is it a job title or a surname, this might be a misprint and if not what the hell does such a position mean because some traditional surnames like 'smith' could describe ones occupation.
After all the latter is my case unlike my unfortunate friend Mike whose business 'Mikes Minis' earned him the soubriquet Mr SMINIS thanks to callers misled by his small ad typo in the local free sheet Pennysaver which was the right small size and paper type to be used in every local business bathroom as perfect for wiping asses.
In my painful and protracted progress from adolescence to adulthood I had ricocheted from one occupation to another in search of a satisfactory career starting out as a hot metal printer then as a layout artist then a toolmaker and in light engineering and so on. Add a few more and to cut a long story short I used my varied experience to qualify as a Jack of all trades.
