But I know the 'any' key. It's one right to the left of '1'. I mean it always works when they prompt for the 'any' key.

In some ways I think a more productive question might be - what career cannot be performed in a noble manner?

If you scratch off the numbers and letters from all your keys on the keyboard then you may find some odd symbols. I think you need to be aligned first to get this right. The symbols you see are the true symbols that are sent via the internet to the matrix. The top left key is the "aNy" key which is all that fits on the key for the High Lord Protector who's full name is "aNy-tru'Th'is-lIe". That entity handles ambiguous responses. Over time the full name got abbreviated to "aNy" and then to "any" and then finally to the pipe symbol as the Lord Protector of ambiguous replies likes wind instruments. Amazing what you won't find if you don't look hard enough.

Could we add fiction writers to noble career ?

Armed forces, emergency services, and anything to do with medicine and nursing.

But what if they are stealing it for a noble cause, to give to charity or save the life of a dying child and all other avenues have been exhausted....

To quote Bernard Weatherill (Former speaker to the House of Commons) at a dinner in London in about 2000... (Tony Blair in power)

"Politics SHOULD be a noble path. It SHOULD be about fighting for those that cannot fight for themselves, even at the expense of your own desires. It SHOULD be the most noble choice.

Please raise your glasses to the Cabinet....

Worthless bast*rds to a man!"

Teacher.

Good teachers are noble. I was lucky enough to have had a few.

I had the crapiest science teacher, he was so mean to me, I tried to get hi fired but her had friends high up in a political party so he pulled strings. I hated him
