Since alternate jumpsuits are a possible spacebux purchase, how about alternate job titles?
Perhaps a separate "serious" and "silly" version. For example, the "serious" alternate job title for Staff Assistant would be something like "Intern", while the "silly" version would be "Organ Donor".

We should get a spreadsheet for suggestions or something. I started coming up with stuff and then realized that this is a horrible place for it.
