Skyrad 0 #2 October 22, 2006 I put tubes up old ladies bottoms and filled them up with fluid before taking pictures of them. I also used to fill peoples bottoms up with paste and take pictures of them shitting it out again.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Meux 0 #14 October 22, 2006 Years ago when we built the East West Expressway in Orlando I worked for a house moving company. There are lots of crazy jobs associated with moving houses. One was dragging a jackhammer underneath a house, laying on my back with that thing on my belly and knocking out concrete foundations from under the house. Very loud work, dusty and just plain ole friggin hard. Once we got the house up on wheels and ready to roll, one totally stupid person had to get up and ride the roof to catch lines. Some lines were telephone lines, no problems. Some lines were power lines, very careful work there. No problem, I'd lay on my belly on the leading edge of the house as we approached the wires, I'd catch the wire with my 2X4, pick it up and start walking backwards as the house was pulled past the poles. At some point, I'd drop the wire, jump over it and go back up front to catch the next one. Not a job I'd recommend to anyone. MH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twoply 0 #18 October 22, 2006 Not super crazy but when I was around 14, I would ride around to bars all over our city and take the coins out of jukeboxes and video games and roll them into wrappers. Some of these places were super shady. My boss would give the bar it's cut and then take his. All of it was cash under the table. It was nothing to roll a few thousand dollars in quarters every day. That guy had some serious dough but I'm not so sure that was all just from the coinage. I remember him selling a lot of other stuff that I acted like I didn't see. He liked to go to the cafeterias in hospitals for lunch. I always ordered chicken. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boinky 0 #21 October 23, 2006 You mean OTHER than being a manifestor? For at least 5 years consecutively, I worked at the fair when it came to town in Macon & Perry, Georgia. Lessee.... Year 1-Photos on T-Shirts Year 2-Elephant Ears Year 3-Elephant Ears Year 4-Costume Jewelry Sales Year 5-Costume Jewelry Sales I had a regular job at a restaurant as a waitress/bartender. But when the fair came to town, I'd take a couple weeks off and work the fair for tax free money. The great part about the Elephant Ears was that we got to trade/barter them for other yummy fair food! Man....were those the great years or what?

jonstark 8 #23 October 23, 2006 Used to deliver and maintain business jets to foreign governments in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. More than once had a pair of pilots turn their heads as some warning tone and a light would come on and say "Mr Jon. Make light go away!" At 45 thousand feet over the Sahara without permission to be in that airspace that qualifies as crazy.
