[Vince]

Try to think of professions that are dishonourable, but gainful.

 

[looker-on]

Reasonable request, and staying biblical.
Book of Exodus - forbidding the profession.

A moneylender like Shylock?

 

[looker-on]

The description was enough - he invented television! Also I knew that Ritchie knew that.

Well, I didn't. Never heard of him.

 

[Richie]

A moneylender like Shylock?

Sounds correct. He was the ancient version of Scrooge.

 

[Richie]

A scam artist or a black mailer. My last guess.

 

[Vince]

The profession is illegal in every modern society.

So is blackmail.

 

[Richie]

Well, I didn't. Never heard of him.

You are a learned man so surprised you do not know the inventor of television, tho there was another that can lay claim to producing the precursor of the modern television, Paul Nipkow: a German researcher in 1884, some 40 years before the Scotsman. Being a fellow countryman more chance you'd know him.

 

[Vince]

So is blackmail.

Blackmail's not mentioned in Exodus, though.

 

[Richie]

Blackmail's not mentioned in Exodus, though.

Can we please have the answer as all exhausted of ideas.

 

[Grier]

A Slaver?

 

[Richie]

A Slaver?

I did not think of that. But was it forbidden back in those times? I know it is today but only because a war was waged to end it.

 

[Vince]

Thief.

 

[Richie]

Thief.

Is that a profession?

 

[Grier]

Close enough as it's a role or job for some Craig. I was headed that way like with my Slaver guess, even thinking of a Prostitute being the 'oldest profession'.

How about you do the next one Craig, or me if you want? You're better at it than me.

You Terry as not had a go to my knowledge. You may also find it more fun and easier hosting than guessing as I do.

 

[Grier]

Alright Craig, I'll have a crack. I must first think of something, won't be long.

 

[Grier]

OK, ready.

I'm thinking of a person.
A "Who Am I"?

 

[Richie]
