Do you know someone with a stranger job than this?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 85/100. alfieklondyke (1049) 5 years ago

My cousin works for the RAF based in the north of Scotland and has the strangest of jobs.

Due to defence budget cuts the RAF can no longer afford to tow boats and fire at them. But due to a surplus of penguins in Iceland, the Icelandic government has come to an arrangement that the penguins can be used as target practice. Thus ridding the Icelandic fishing fleet of a menace.

It is my cousins job to flush out the penguins from nooks and crannies into the open ice packs. He is currently on long term sickness after doing the job dressed as a nun for a bet.

Does anyone else know someone that does an unusual job?

Oh, I heard about this and I think Its just terrible. There is no amount of money they could pay me to do this job. I hope I am not offending you, but I am a vegan and a enviormentalist and this just drives me crazy!


myLot reputation of 85/100. alfieklondyke (1049)  5 years ago

No, you are not offending me. I don't know about the vegan side of this as none of them get eaten by the pilots. I believe they donate the remains to the Reykjavik zoo for the sealions. So no harm done there as i guess this is a form of recycling.

I understand not wanting to do the job but when you sign up for the airforce i think you have to do what you are told.

Or they dress you up as a nun.


myLot reputation of 86/100. liperoterachel (10130)  5 years ago

I don't eat meat. Well at least they are being recycled but I still do not like it.

Your cousin's job is even stranger than yours as a clown. So glad you are here today and did not stay away long. It is my birthday and it has made me so happy to be able to read your discussions. I am 21 again, of course.

I have a friend that looks after people's marbles when they have lost them. Does he have some of yours?


myLot reputation of 85/100. alfieklondyke (1049)  5 years ago

I lost all my marbles a long time ago!

Happy birthday!!!

I will try to send a birthday greeting if i can figure out how!


myLot reputation of 85/100. alfieklondyke (1049)  5 years ago

Happy birthday!

Yes, I know someone who sells trash to a company for it to be recycled. I also know someone who sells boiled eggs the whole they and those boiled eggs are very delicious. I also know someone who sells old steels.

I dont know anyone with unusual jobs. Nothing like that. But can I ask....Why a nun ? You might be better suited to the job....I could just see you out there in your bikini running around.


myLot reputation of 85/100. alfieklondyke (1049)  5 years ago

It would be a bit chilly for a bikini and my little bit would get even more little.

I would stick with the nuns outfit.

Oh C'mon..I thought you were the daring type. But then I suppose you dont want to become inverted.

This is very interesting alfie. I have dear friend who is a nun, and due to recent budget cuts at her place of business, she has taken to the streets in search of learning tricks that will bring money into the convent.

One thing that she has done in recent years is to dress up as a chicken and be shot out of an air cannon and into the windscreens of jets. It seems that the recent budget cuts in defense no longer allow for the use of real chickens for this practice. Well, the defense cuts and the recent outcry of chicken defenders.

Most of the time the chicken suit wearing gig has been conducted on the ground, but she recently worked on a day when a new guy was in charge of the air cannon, and he didn't know the tests were to be conducted on the ground, so he mounted his cannon on another jet, and shot my dear friend into the side of a passenger airliner! As if this wasn't bad enough, my poor friend's chicken suit was at the cleaners, and she was in her finest nunnery livery. You can imagine the astonishment of the passengers when she came crashing into the side of their aircraft! They were astonished, as many of them did not think that penguins could fly!
