I was beginning to wonder if they'd mention the tanner, but obviously they saved the worst for last.

I wonder about people who name their sons Tanner...

The Worst Jobs In History

I knew a guy who worked at the "Lusty Lady" in Seattle. This was a strip club of sorts where the viewer enters one of several private booths, feeds quarters into a slot which opens a partition and allows the viewing of live, naked dancing ladies on a stage behind a glass window.

His job? Well, let's just say he would enter the vacated booths wearing latex gloves and brandishing a mop.

I got a job one summer while in college steam cleaning garbage trucks. I would put on a hazmat suit, climb inside one of these in the Texas heat and go to work with the steamer. At times I would be standing ankle deep in the putrid stinking water you have ever seen.

Several of us started working the same day. By the end of summer only two of the original summer hires were left. The rest had been tirned completely over twice. Many did not last the day.

If you follow the "Medieval" link, they mention "surgeon/barber" but Theodoric Barber of York is not specifically referenced. "Now, now. Who's the barber here?"

Oh, I dunno - ever buy a rectal thermometer? The one wrapped in the little piece of paper that gives you directions (how many polite ways are there to say "stick this up yer butt"?) that end with "each unit individually tested."?

Yep. That was me.

You are strapped into a seat that is hung from the end of a free-moving arm. At the whim of the operators, you are then dunked into a river or pond once or twice or all day, in front of yet another jeering crowd.

Is Senator Kennedy aware of this vocation?

These guys pushing stone blocks to build the pyramids, now thats kind of a crummy job.

My worst was collecting sheep piss for a biochemical company. We'd give shots to some old rams, then put them in cages and strap a funnel on their...well, you get the picture. The funnel would run the pee into a jug, which we would collect and take to the company for processing - they made a cancer-treatment drug out of it.

The shots must have been quite painful - the rams hated us. We would beat them with shovels when they would attack, then rope and stuff them into their cages.

One part I refused to do - apply vaseline to their...well, you get the idea. Prevented chapping while their privates were in the funnel.
