What Do I Actually Do?

On a flight, a busy executive reels off a relentless itinerary of New York, Zurich, Brussels and Düsseldorf, only to admit to the passenger next to him that he genuinely doesn't know what he does for a living. All he can say is that he attends meetings with men who look just like him and makes small talk about golf. His neighbour tries to help by working through what he clearly isn't, from fireman to Scottish country dance secretary, before floating a suggestion the executive happily adopts as his own, which turns out to be the neighbour's own line of work. When a colleague stops by to say hello, the executive slips straight back into the empty office banter he described.
