| Another funny time - when we have a machine broken down at work, we pay whatever to get the spare part needed to our factory. We needed a socket cap screw, just the 1, but it was a special size, I found one in Wales which is about 250miles from Norwich, so I got it taxi'd to us, the screw was 0.10p, the taxi was £280.

| About the craziest job I've ever had (aside from being a stay-at-home-dad) was a cook in the canadian navy reserves. I once bartended, waitered and bounced at a country bar in northern Alberta (YEEHAW!) I was young and needed the money |

| Just a plain old conservative accountant by day, but used to be an EMT by night. Besides all the tragic stuff, we had plenty of the weird stuff as well. Helping a deputy hold down a tiny drunk woman who had bit him and was trying to do it again - very very drunk. Responding to a call of a woman in labor. They had 4 other kids, but no one to watch them so the Dad could go to the hospital. I knew the family a little bit, so I stayed and watched the kids at 3:00 am. Didn't think I was going to be rocking an 18 month old to sleep that night. Driving the ambulance and having a guy step out on the street about a block ahead and go into a stance like he was pointing a gun at us. I didn't know if he had one or not and I had no place to go, so I hit the accelerator and he jumped out of the way. Found out later he had all sorts of mental issues. The list goes on and on.

| Gruesome job. Yes? Well, you do have to purchase plots for the "future". One day I made a call. I didn't know the woman had just lost her husband. She burst out in tears asking me how could I be so cruel. That was the day I quit. Many actors did this as a side job. I went on to waiting tables with other actors who had a weak stomach for the morbid....
