the cheese stands alone

If Wishes Were Wings, A Frog Wouldn't Bump Its Ass A-Hoppin'

Teresa tickled my taggy bone.

Immediately following there is a list of 20 different occupations. You must select at least 5 of them (feel free to select more). You may add more if you like to your list before you pass it on (after you select 5 of the items as it was passed to you). Each one begins with "If I could be..." Of the 5 you selected, you are to finish each phrase with what you would do as a member of that profession.

For example, if the selected occupation was "linguist," you might take the phrase "If I could be a linguist...I would learn Hebrew, Greek, Russian, Italian and Chinese." See how easy that is? Here's the list:

If I could be a scientist...
If I could be a farmer...
If I could be a musician...
If I could be a doctor...
If I could be a painter...
If I could be a gardener...
If I could be a missionary...
If I could be a chef...
If I could be an architect...
If I could be a linguist...
If I could be a psychologist...
If I could be a librarian...
If I could be an athlete...
If I could be a lawyer...
If I could be an innkeeper...
If I could be a professor...
If I could be a writer...
If I could be a llama-rider...
If I could be a bonnie pirate...
If I could be an astronaut...

Now comes the hard part, narrowing it down to three. I mean, am I not the queen o' gimme?

If I could be a scientist.... I'd discover the secret to eternal youth, and I surely wouldn't waste it on the young.
If I could be a doctor.... I'd find a cure for that gene that makes men have to have those megabass stereos that shake windows and eradicate it. Then maybe I'd get to work on that pesky cancer thing.
If I could be a linguist... I'd be cunning.
If I could be a librarian... I'd never be late for work or early home to dinner.
If I could be an astronaut.... I'd be moonward-bound, because where else does a Cheesemistress belong but on a world MADE of the stuff?

And here I break tradition and not tag anyone, because everyone who's clever and faster than I am (that's a pretty broad field, y'all) has done it already.
