Dear Quaz,
Good article. I'd rate human stool sample analyst as most disagreeable. LOL

The lowest STATUS job I've ever noticed was a restroom attendant at the jai alai games in Tijuana.
MG
Ps. LOL

 

[Madame Manga]

The best part of this article is the symbol set they use to label each job. Take special note of "Psychological Torture".

[Rumple Foreskin]

Here are a few jobs listed in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles most folks would probably consider undesirable.

POULTRY DE-BEAKER (it’s worse than it sounds)

ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATOR (enjoy)

CASKET INSPECTOR (before or after use?)

WRITER, PROSE, FICTION AND NONFICTION (lowest of the low)

And just for those who might have wondered

HOER (nope, it’s not a misspelling) Weeds or thins crops, such as tobacco, strawberries, sugar beets, and carrots, by hand or using hoe

HOOKER: (not that old a profession) Assists workers engaged in operating derricks

 

[Quasimodem]

... POULTRY DE-BEAKER (it’s worse than it sounds)...

My mother did that for a while, when I was a kid.

The worst part is the smell of the hot knife slicing thorugh the beak.

Added: You are right, MM. They nailed Psychological Torture!"

I knew a lady who was a barnyard masturbator for pigs....No I never let her get close to my wee wee....

Hey, why not!

Short pig, long pig . . . she was a Professional!

She was just to businesslike at that for me to be interested....

BARNYARD MASTURBATOR

Researchers who want animal sperm —to study fertility or for artificial insemination—have a suite of attractive options: They can ram an electric probe up an animal's rectum, shove an artificial vagina onto the animal's penis, or simply do it the old-fashioned way—manual stimulation. The first option, electroejaculation, uses a priapic rectal probe to send electricity pulsing through the animal's nether regions.

OMG! They did not say that! Nether regions what is this a Lit story? I think I have read enough, thank you very much.

Quasimodem,

I am wondering a couple of things, one how did you just happen to stumble across this wonderful entertaining news?
Second man is your place of employment that dispicable you would be searching for new employment in these categories? (said with humor of course)

 

[Quasimodem]

Quasimodem, . . . how did you just happen to stumble across this wonderful entertaining news? . . . is your place of employment that dispicable you would be searching for new employment in these categories?. . .

Not searching for employment at all, but the elephant's child always needs feeding.

shove an artificial vagina onto the animal's penis,

I saw this done on TV--it was some educational program, of course. It was rather interesting. They had this artificial cow, and they get the bull to mount it and do what they need him to do. I couldn't help thinking that probably no one who is considering a career as an agricultural worker, thinks about being the guy who jacks off the bull.

 

[Quasimodem]

. . . probably no one . . . thinks about being the guy who jacks off the bull.

Ole!

Ole!

Oh, lay off!

God what if the arm gets tired? Is that how all those loathsome movies get on the Net?

Phildo affraid those actresses are listed on that page but are caught eating all the proffits.

Just this:

 

[Dakota_North]

I actually knew a guy who sold the 'product' of that job. Used to introduce himself as a 'semen salesman.' Best reply he got once was a girl who asked 'yours any good?'

 

[Guest]

Damp, loved the cartoon, and loved your '5' holiday story. You're a peach.

regards, Perdita

 

[damppanties]

*takes a bow*

Thanks.

 

[SlickTony]

Actually, I was taking a little comic license when I mentioned the guy jacking off the bull. Actually, after the bull has mounted the mechanical cow, which reminds me of the device that Pasiphae (wasn't she the one? wife to King MInos of Crete? mother of the Minotaur?) is said to gotten inside of, the guy just collects the product, and it's probably less arduous than taking the money out of the Coke machine at the end of the week.

 

[Quasimodem]

He doesn't take the 'coke' out until the end of the week!

Whoever sells THAT semen must say he sells SUB mariners

 

[A7inchPhildo]

damppanties,
That was funny thanks!

 

[Dirty Slut]

This is the damndest thread that I've come across here so far...

Don't pigs have curly cued thingies? And big boar balls behind? I can only wonder that one's arm doesn't get all twisted up in that kind of a profession.

AV's (artificial vaginas) are usually how it's done, or at least it was how we did it. The person holding the AV usually wears a lot of body armor, heh.

I used to have pictures of that, but I can't find them now. If I can dig any up, I'll post them for y'all. These are the only ones I have left.
