He writes the small print for prescription drugs, marital aids, and incontinence products. The clients present him with a list of possible side effects.

The methods diabolical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLloyd has a habit, too. He cops smack during coffee breaks at his new job writing copy for Christian Swingles, an online dating service for the faithful.
