People are always interested to hear about my job as an ice cream taster. I usually start by telling them that I taste 15 kinds of ice cream each day.

“Isn’t that too much?” people usually inquire.

I respond by explaining that I only try a little bit of each kind of ice cream. That way, I can enjoy each flavor, and I don’t get sick.
