One of the writers was commenting on the Valentine's Day flowers sitting on my desk. When I said they were from my boyfriend, he said, "Oh, that's nice. What does your boyfriend do, if you don't mind my asking?" I answered without considering the offered option of not answering.
I wonder what he would've said if I had minded his asking. If, instead of telling him what the job is, said something like, "Actually, I'd rather not say."

I think if you'd said, "I'd rather not say," the person's immediate conclusion would be:
1) mafia,
2) CIA, or
3) porn.
I was thinking:
1.) mafia
2.) drug dealer
3.) some job that is typically seen as being really feminine
4.) birthday party clown
5.) no job
