I think this quiz has run its course, and that you should tell us.

So by the lack of silence do we assume he is too embarrased to admit what he does? :)

I would love to know why a TOC would require a Fluffer.

Seriously, though - does your job involve computers in some way?

A fluffer is a real rail job. You all have dirty minds.

I don't have a dirty mind. Viagra really is used to clear dust and debris off the tracks these days. The active ingredient of the drug, sildenafil citrate, is applied to the rails of most metro systems about once a year as a quick-drying liquid. It forms a thin protective layer that keep the rails in good condition without impeding their performance, and without the need for regular fluffing.

It's a big coincidence, I know, and I was quite surprised to learn about it myself, but I swear it's true. If you don't believe me, you can read about it at http://snurl.com/10pd89.
