Strange Jobs

Okay, sitting here watching a Mythbusters Top 25 and thinking back on
some of the strange jobs I've had in my life. What are your top 2
strangest jobs that you've done in your life? Please, nothing that
hasn't reached the statute of limitations where the job was done.
2. Kill room of a turkey ranch. I occasionally did the killing, but
my primary job was the plucker. And, oh, by the way, cleaning out the
drain when it clogs and the combined blood and whatever start coming
over the top of your rubber boots really sucks.
1. Missile maintenance technician. Yes, believe it or not, I did,
for about 6 years, work with high explosives and rocket motors. Most
memorable moment was the white phosphorous warhead "leaking."
Granted, we're all fly fishermen in our spare time, but what are some
of the really weird jobs you've had?

Not a job as such - just helping a pal on his farm.

I helped him thin out swede seedlings with a hoe. Dead easy for the first
twenty yards or so, the next 400 yards were back breaking!

Also, not a particularly back breaking job, but planting spuds - dropping a
spud down a tube every time the bell rung on the tractor towed planter. You
start to feel like an automaton after a while.
