I had this sent to me by a friend that found it on a forum..

"And You Thought Your Job Was A Pain?
If you think, for one second, you’ve got a bad job, on your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy. I want you to go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson.

Be very sure you get this brand. When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed.

Change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair. Open the package and remove the thermometer. Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken.

Now the fun part begins. Take out the literature from the box and read it carefully. You will notice there is a disclosure in very fine print that reads:

“Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson is personally tested and then sanitized.”

Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times, “I am so glad I do not work in the thermometer quality control department at Johnson & Johnson.” Have a wonderful day knowing that, no matter how bad it is, there is always a job that’s more of a pain than yours."

Luckily, as a student i don't get to do things a lot because i am still studying. Its quite funny that every thermometer gets to be tested. I usually get some money through the internet browsing some websites, mylot, going to http://money.daro.2ya.com and sometimes when I get tired i go to friendster, myspace and unwind.

myLot reputation of 98/100. raydene (5491)  4 years ago

clean it after the test!

Thanks for that new image.

Oh man, now I was not expecting that. Ewwwww....you are so right. I am sitting here thinking just who is testing them. What kind of pay do they get I wonder that too. Now way, not for any pay could I do that job. I am so happy I do what I do.


myLot reputation of 98/100. raydene (5491)  4 years ago

Doll

a group of people..

one to insert

one to be tested on

one to extract

one to clean

one to box

lol

are you saying those thermometers are not machine tested?wow,its funny how many thermometers they manufacture every year,its a little tough but i really dont envy the guys who had that job to personally test the products


myLot reputation of 97/100. BarBaraPrz (6659)  4 years ago

They ARE machine calibrated... see below...


myLot reputation of 98/100. raydene (5491)  4 years ago

tested on human beings!

Hate to spoil a good joke but this is not what you might think.
From Snopes... "rectal thermometers aren't tested by using them the very same way end consumers would. The "testing" they're put through is a process which ensures they accurately measure a designated range of temperatures, achieved by calibrating them with known temperatures in carefully-controlled conditions. Personal individual testing of rectal thermometers is too labor-intensive and time-consuming a process for such an inexpensive product, nor would it satisfactorily ensure accuracy because the body temperatures of the "testers" would be too variable (and the manufacturer would have to employ a whole lot of very sick people to test their thermometers across the high and low extremes of human body temperature). Aside from that, there are probably at least a few health regulations that prohibit the resale of items which have previously been inserted into someone's rectum."

Awww Sweets

And we were having so much fun!

I think we all know that

there is not a human

testing these....

All for fun Honey...

lol

myLot reputation of 97/100. BarBaraPrz (6659)  4 years ago

Yup, that's me... a real killjoy. But you'd be surprised at how many people DO believe what is implied by the "testing". And thanks for the best response.

Surley they test them under their arm or something. I would think it would not be sanitary enough to sell even with washing!
