“Occupation?”

“Time travel pharmacologist.”

“What?”

“I prepare pharmaceuticals for people who travel through time. It’s an important but complex process, as the medicines need to be prepared in such a way that they will seem period-appropriate, but also self-destruct if tampered with to reduce temporal cross-contamination. It’s important to note that I am NOT a time travel pharmacist; I am don’t prescribe drugs to people in historical periods like those idiots that tried to give Hitler a dose of lithium to prevent World War II.”

“…look, if you don’t want to answer the question, just say so and I’ll leave it blank.”
