Quite okay, Starrman. Fully appreciate and respect the convictions of those who place their faith and confidence in other
authoritative sources of absolute truth. If such were my persuasions... 1) Big Banger; 2) Big Monkey and 3) Big Bopper.

Note: One down, 'Murderer' (Second Oldest Profession)... Third Oldest and Oldest still to go.
Here's a third Helpul Hint: Some prostitutes sell their skin, some their birthright, some their soul. Some murderers kill the body of a single individual, some small groups of people, some take out entire populations with ethnic cleansing... yet other murderers destroy reputations with character assassination and public lies. The words 'prostitute' and 'murderer' are inclusive big umbrella words, which embrace these wide ranging activities. With the 'oldest profession' or practice there are 'means to a premeditated end' as well as 'end results'. Several of each have already been identified. Between the front end learned behaviors/skills and the results/consequences, there's a similar key word which accurately embraces and defines the function of this oldest profession.
