What is your wackiest job?


As a merchandiser I get some funny jobs from time to time to break up the regular schedule. But here's a new one. I'll bet you didn't know we need to have our colons cleaned and we need a big promotion to remind us to stock up on our colon cleaning supplies. Of course you might think "spring cleaning" was done in the spring but this seems to be a special big deal. Maybe you make sure you clean your colon when you set the clock back or forward. Maybe you clean your colon at 30,000 miles when you rotate your tires and change your oil. Can you get a high test colon cleaning or just have to take the basic service? When you "gas-up" and choose full service do you get a free colon wash with your fill-up? Is this really a do-it-yourself job? Colon cleaning. I guess I never thought of it as a regular thing: brush your teeth, wash your hair, take out the trash, walk the dog, clean your colon....Ah, I get it. Thanksgiving is almost here and we have lots to be thankful for. Are you thankful for your clean colon? And what a great gift idea for that special someone. A day at the spa....facial, manicure, massage, colon cleaning..."scent"sational. Just wait 'till I tell Santa what I want for Christmas. I hope he brings me a clean colon.

I had a job when i first got to florida where I rode a giant tricycle with two 4-5 foot rotating billboards on the back. with a radio system. Vitamin water was one of our campaigns, they gave us like crates of the the stuff. I am allergic to it, but it is fun to pelt people with it. on the weekends I road a pedicab and took drunk people home and to universal studios. since it had pedals you could ride on the sidwalk and avoid traffic.

and just for strange stuff, night shift at a porn store. You should never have to say "take that out of your mouth" in a porn store.

I suppose some people are just full of it. This helps maintain their balance of ***.

You talking about me??? I get told that I am full of it all the time. Maybe I should go for a monthly schedule.

empty or full?!


I have read that being constipated can cause a seizure, and that using a colon cleanser can cause a seizure. So we need to aim for being half full of it?!

One of the wildest jobs I had was a nude model for art classes. The first time I did it was at a high school & the teacher was sick so the kids were a bit more rowdy with the sub. They spent most the class trying to make me blush- it didn't work.

After that I was so happy to deal with adults at the art college, at least until the teacher walked in & it was a friend of my parents...... I knew he was an artist but forgot that he taught there. That time I think I blushed.

Eh... Rae, Eric, I can't beat those...
When I was a 16-17 year old teenager, I worked in my summer vacation making cotton candy in a carnival booth. I travelled from town to town and slept in a caravan. Long days, low wages and got allergic to cotton candy. However I've met some really unforgetable people.

I can''t compete with some of these... but I did work as a bingo caller at an old folks home.

Some of the old ladies there kept grabbing my behind. They were like Blanche from Golden Girls.

Rae, Don't worry about Chris's inky bottom. A good dose of that discounted colon cleaner should do the trick. It has a lavender scent, too. Well, I didn't actually open the box and sniff the colon cleaner. I just read the label. I've seen people stand in the shampoo aisle for 20 minuter or so sniffing the shampoo bottles but I thought sniffing colon cleaner was a bit...well, you know what I mean. But Chris's inky bottom should be fine. Watch out though, Chris. I've heard old ladies love lavender.

Nice!!

Yeah, those were crazy days...

Chris: "B2, we have B2..."
Old Lady 1: "Hurry the hell up! I don't have all day!"
<So I start calling faster>
Chris "O69... G51..."
Old Lady 2: "Slow down! I'm not young anymore!"

All the while, the rear end grabbing lady keeps looking at me...

Rae, I would IMAGINE we are talking about the same thing, but being in the UK, it's a british brand. STILL very funny when one of the games I used to do was to pass one of the products around between your knees....not easy to do with a massive baby bump!
