I was a pony trek leader for a large trekking centre one summer when I was 16. Not that bizarre until you take into account I was solely responsible for matching people to their horses, taking treks out and collecting the cash money. Plus at 16 I looked about 12 it got some interesting looks off customers. Not my favourite job ever!

where i glass collected every couple of months the bar manager had me come in and shovel the coal from one end of the old old worm screw fed boiler as it was badly designed, i used to be covered in coal dust and my mum always said I looked like i had eye liner on and looked lovely.

Did a job as chef in a nightclub. Again not that odd, but my assistant and myself were always in alone a good 3 or 4 hours before anyone else. The cocktail bar was right next to the kitchen! Don't know how half the stuff ever got cooked properly or how we got home most mornings. I say mornings because after cleaning the kitchen at the end of service, there was a lock in that usually ended around 5 or 6 in the morning. Job and me only lasted about a year. 

I also did block wall building for pig pens on a little farm. Never lifted a trowel before I got the job.

you work as a team...there is

  1. turkey wrestler..(he holds it on the milking stool)
  2. the "fluffer-up"....he gets the stag nice and sexy...then with a swift upward movement with his right thumb squeezes the *** out....
  3. the "milk sucker"...which is a test tube with a long and a short pipe in it...you put one in your mouth ..to suck....then the other one...the short pipe.. sucks up the ***...

so there you go ..
