What's the strangest thing you've ever had to do on your job?

I've never had any really strange job experiences. But, a friend of mine swears that once her employer asked her to babysit his pet goat at her apartment, while he took his family on ski vacation. Can you imagine! It must have been a tiny goat. I can just imagine that thing trying to chow down on her Berber carpet.
I think that the goat was one of those Pygmie type goats that are more like pets. But, just the thought of livestock in my house, makes me cringe. (I'll bet it was adorable!)
What's the strangest thing an employer has ever asked you to do? Have you ever been asked to cover up some big secret on the job, maybe a big mess up? When someone asks you to do something you don't want to do, how do you handle the situation?

Not really starnge but definitely diffrent. I was working for a traveling circus tending to the wild cats. I helped birth a baby black leopard. Nothing serious just something I had never done and really loved seeing it breathe with my help etc.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

That is phenomenal! My life was never that exciting. I love cats of all shapes and sizes. Sounds like a dream job.

Nothing so strange. If i am asked to do something I dont want, I said no I cant do it becuase it does not foolow given procedures. if he still insist on then I sign and make notations that this was done as per instruction of the boss or I talk to our auditor if it is on finances and ask advice.

I've never been asked to do anything weird or odd. I'd have a hard time with covering up a secret on the job or mess up I'd feel much to guilty. If its something i dont want to do...I seem to get away with putting it off here until someone else does it. OR i do it VERY reluctantly without complaint.
The weirdest thing at the job i can think of was when The office was based out of my bosses home and I'd get to work and He or one of his family members would be in the shower.
