If I could pick any profession....I guess the profession I would pick would be that of "Shirriff". The Shirriffs were "hobbit policeman" and although they didn't have a uniform, they wore a feather in their cap. The highlight of their day was probably chasing stray animals, gossiping with the other hobbits, and getting free Ale at the tavern (they didn't have donuts back then). I would be very luck to be a shirriff since there were only twelve total in the shire (three in each Farthing). I would have worn my "feather" proudly. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
