What was your favorite day job, and why? If you hated them all, what was the best (meaning most interesting) way you ever quit a job?
Sean McNab: I worked at a prestigious Canadian golf course called Glen Abbey. Because of my tattoos, I had to wear a custom made uniform to cover them up so I wouldn't scare away the members. While my manager was yelling at me I squirted a whole bottle of mustard on him and walked out the door.

From the bio:
Based in Burlington, Ontario, Jersey is proper punk in the tradition of the Clash, Rancid and Bad Religion, infused with elements of Springsteen, U2 and even a little Tie Domi. All four members are proudly working-class guys who took day jobs in places like steel plants, warehouses and hockey arenas to finance the band. Right from the beginning, Jersey’s DIY work ethic has seen them cover tens of thousands of miles through Canada, the US and the UK, including four tours of duty with the Warped Tour, and road trips with punk’s greatest warriors.
-- George Zahora
