Koohii stories:

1) [aircawn] 9-2-2007(211): A truly gruesome profession: an abattoir worker. Where the carcasses are upside down in a row that have not yet been cut up into sausages and steaks.

2) [matticus] 9-12-2006(54): My profession is taking unfinished rowboats and waterproofing them. Customers come in all the time asking if I've finished, and I point to their upside-down rowboat, still wet with sealant, and say, "not yet".

3) [blaked569] 18-3-2009(29): The oldest profession: prostitution. I was once in a brothel in Amsterdam where the working girls had a group of businessmen blindfolded and hanging upside down in a row, not yet spanked and whipped, but waiting eagerly.

4) [testoman] 4-9-2008(20): My life is ruined. All my businesses went upside down in a row. I'm not yet ready to change professions though.

5) [Johnnyltn] 28-10-2006(17): Taking this upside down in a row world and placing it upright is a profession that this world is not yet ready for.
