I think you meant Proctologist, not Neurologist.
I once saw a bugs bunny movie where Bugs had a job in a munitions factory testing bombs for duds. As each bomb would come by, bugs would hit it on the nose with a hammer. If it didn’t blow up it was a dud and bugs would mark it so.
That sounds like a pretty bad job to me. You typically would only get to test one bomb.
He has balls?
Darn, I missed Post #18, never mind.
So much for originality.
Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel on the Man Show once interviewed the two finalists for the worst job in America. One was a scuba diver at sewage treatment plant. The other, who won, was a sperm collector at a turkey farm. He said the worst part was the way the Tom turkeys all quieted down when he walked into their coop.

What was wrong with them and the hens, that they could not do it the normal way? (Turkey stud farm?)
Some years ago a friend of mine, a delivery truck driver, had to make a run to one outside of Mendota, Illinois. He said the smell inside was so awful he dropped to his knees with the dry heaves within a few feet of stepping through the door. When he got back to his terminal, his boss took one whiff of him and sent him home early. He had to leave his clothes outside for several days before they were “presentable” enough to throw in the washer.
I had to go out with a rancher in Western Kansas and see his several dead cows. He had drug them away from everything else waiting for the National By Products truck to come get them.
The wind was blowing about 30mph toward the dead cows and I wasn’t expecting to smell anything. In fact I could not see how even an atom could get back to us as we would be thirty feet away from the cows and the wind blowing just how we wanted.
Well we got to maybe 40 feet and the smell just about overcame me. I still do not know how that smell could come back on us with the wind blowing so hard from us to the cows.
Domestic turkeys are unable to mate naturally because the birds are bred to have enormous breastmeat and cannot actually get close enough to each other to mate.
The breasts on the hybrid white turkey toms is so big he cannot mount a female and get his parts lined up right.
So humans have to “help”. Those big, broad-breasted turkeys are really over-bred freaks but everyone wants that kind of bird come Thanksgiving.
I remember after the Jonestown suicides and murders the U.S. Military sent their people whose job it was to handle bodies down there to recover the remains.
I remember seeing some of them interviewed and they all, every one of them said they just could not quit washing their hands. This was weeks after they returned.
One summer while stationed near Camp Zama, Japan, I got stuck in traffic. It was hot and my ‘64 VW had no AC. We were passing a chicken farm and got stuck behind a “benjo” (raw sewage) truck. The stench was unbearable, causing my pregnant wife to stick her head out the window and toss her cookies.
Still why can’t there be an ergonomically designed mechanical hen turkey that the big breasted toms can have all the whoopee they want with, and which collects the sperm as it operates. Why have humans involved all the time. Might have to show a new turkey once or twice how to use it and that would be it. No more gross-out turkey groping.
It should probably be observed in this context that Foxconn employs so many people that despite the widely reported suicides, the suicide rate for Foxconn employees is below that for the PRC as a whole.
Man it was dangerous; good money but dangerous machinery from the first baths to the splitters to the mixers. That was hard work for a teen. And yes, demoncrats should know just what hard work is. I don't think that Tannery is there anymore. But nothing in California is the same in the last 25 plus years.
