When patrick bateman said to a girl: "I work in murders and executions", what did he mean?

Was it in-line with the rest of the movie, building on his sociopathic and psychotic tendencies that gets misheard etc etc you know, 


or


Was it a play on words that rhymes with acquisitions (like mergers and inquisitions, the site), with the added benefit of M&A being known to have "suicidal hours" and a toxic culture, further making "murders & executions" rhyme in both a literal and poetic sense?

 

I think the real question in the movie is if he actually murdered anyone or if it was all in his mind.

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
