Something Different.

    A man who works for a fencing and deck business is the second of two offspring in his immediate family. He has a brother; his brother is erudite and financially successful. His brother, with moderate monetary strain, moved to England, where he teaches; he belongs to a social group including others of his nature. The man is invited by his brother to visit him in England. The man accepts; he's in England. 

   His brother has a social gathering one night, so the man can meet his brother's friends.
One friend asks the man, "So, what is it you do?" 

The man answers, "I build decks; I also fence. The rest isn't that interesting."

"Fence, you say? I belong to a fencing club. Maybe you could come out with us while you're still visiting?"

The man, at that moment, feels very small.
