Playboy: So what’s your job title?

Jamie: I’m an off-bearer.

Playboy: Does that mean you take your shirt off and bare your——

Jamie: I work at a plywood mill. An off-bearer pulls wood.

P ...layboy: Aha. You pull wood. The guys in the mill must appreciate that.

Jamie: I hear that one every day! I pull wood out, grade it and sort it.

Playboy: This interview is writing itself. Do you sort the wood you pull by girth or by length? Rigidity?

Jamie: If there’s a defect in a board, I plug in the holes.

Playboy: Oh. You really are talking about plywood. Are there many women at your mill?

Jamie: Some, but I’m the only one not at a desk job. I didn’t start as an off-bearer, but I asked for a more demanding job. It’s such a good workout that I don’t even go to the gym. I think I have more stamina than the guys.

Jamie: Believe it or not, I can’t find a date there. Some say I’m intimidating.

Playboy: A beautiful woman can be daunting. If a guy were to ask you out, how could he get past that and provide you with the perfect evening?

Jamie: Actually, I’m not into romance. Pop in a comedy and laugh with me. That’s the key to my heart.
