Retired "Business" Cards - What would you put on yours?

[Danny]

I've decided to get some business cards.
Whenever I'm asked for my contact info by new acquaintances like today when playing golf, I end up writing on a scrap of paper.
It would be much easier and cooler to have a nifty card at the ready.

I'm trying to decide what I should put on it.
Maybe some tongue in cheek retirement title or company name, etc. - something clever and fun.

What would you or have you put on a retired "business" card?

One with a picture would be nice.

That's the beauty of being E-R... you don't have to put any title on the card at all. I just ordered some from vistaprint.com (free but you pay shipping). Just my name, phone, email, and city.

That's the site I'm looking at. Free & $ 6 shipping.

Oh, mine would have a picture alright...

Goatse, anyone?

My gal's Mom's deceased ex had cards with Bay Day Laa inc. on them - Navajo for "just fooling around". Ex-Monument Valley trading post operator. Given that darn near nobody had any idea what bay day laa meant it was a good converstaion starter.

Keep it simple. Name, address, phone, email, and your blog address if you have one.

If you need a title, put "Life Planner" under your name.

Real simple, very old fashioned, calling cards. Only my name in a nice script.
Depending on situation, hand write phone # on the back.

A retired friend that was the super-handy type found himself working small home improvement jobs (of his choice) and so finally had his card printed up:

Half Fast Handy Man (say it faster )

Beer Consumed Freely!


He's always got more work than he can handle!!

Some kind of riff on "Have gun, will travel." Have time, will play?

 

[Midpack]

Don't remember where I stole it, might have been here even:

non sum qualis eram

Very good.

Don't remember where I stole it, might have been here even:

non sum qualis eram

from the Dowson poem? Richard Burton did an amazing recording of it, sadly out of print.

Then, what are you?

 

[aworkingrachel]

I've always liked the idea of "dilettante" as a title.

 

[Midpack]

Then, what are you?

I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up...but I know I'm not the same.

 

[Grizz]

How about "Fog Ducker"

 

[Jeb-NY]

I had non work cards even before I retired. They give my contact info including eMail and a list of some of my hobbies and interests so the person that gets it may remember why he has it.

Then, what are you?

But for all the irritated readers who hate Latin quotes that are not translated it is:

"I am not the man I was."

Good one for a non-business card.

I don't get it.

I don't get it.

In case Bob gets lost, someone can help him find his home.

You missed Dex's implied smiley. Naturally, he forgot to insert it.
