Workin' for the Weekend
I was talking to this man recently about jobs we've had. He was telling me about one of his first jobs, and you'll never guess what it was. It is the nastiest job I've ever heard of. He had to shovel pig's lungs into this machine, so that it could be processed into hot dogs. He is about 20 years older than us, so I told him I don't know anyone my age who has had a job like that one. But, then again, I don't really know. Have any of you had a job as gross as this one? What has been the strangest thing you've done to make a buck?

Gees, that's all pretty gross...I've been shoveling poop for the past 12 years.....my kids and I don't get paid for it...and it's pretty stinky, too.
But I wouldn't trade it for anything you've been doing.
I haven't had any nasty jobs, but I have been in some crazy situations. I was a teacher for almost 14 years, so you can imagine. But, the craziest situation actually happened when I was working in Baltimore as a consultant. I was relying on Mapquest to get me to the school I had to teach in. Unfortunately, the route I had to take was closed for construction, so I had to follow the detour signs to get me where I had to go. I ended up in a REALLY bad part of town, nothing even comes close to had bad it was here in Miami. It looked like a scene from a movie when the family gets lost and they steal the hubcaps right from the car while they're driving. Anyway, I stopped at a red light, and I see about 7 people running to my car. Of course they were offering to sell me all kinds of goods and services. All I know is I was praying really hard for a green light and saying, "No thank you" a lot. Yes, that's right. I waited for the green light.
I have been in the medical field for 19 years and I have seen, lets just say,some interesting things. Tim you story about the bird was cool, can relate to that, except the guts are of humans all over the examining table and floor. I have had some smelly, leaking rectal tubes to broken arms barely attached by skin. to vibrators stuck in a womens virgina to a Kabassa Dog stuck up someones rectum. Blood flowing out of someones head like a fountain, to a mans penis stuck in a bottle. gigantizum of the penis that looks like a trunk of a tree,(try putting a foley in that), to delievery of a baby. From a D&C to an NG tube being pulled out of the persons nose and bile shutting everywhere. A person asperating in front of you to a code Blue where some live and some die, right in your arms. I even had a dead corps sit straight up and gasp while taking them down to the morg. Not to mention a open heart patients chest staples coming undone. assisting in amputations, to see'n people in hospics taking thier last breath and knowing that you cant touch them to help revive them. Might sound gory, but I love my job.
yeah, right....
did I mention bugars and the fart contests? who can burp the loudest and longest....
I meant to say BOOGERS!!!
