Most ridiculous things that I have had to do at work are as follows:
- Having to count massive cathodes baking in ovens at an aluminium smelter
- Having to get up at 5am, drive to a chemical plant, climb 25 metres up a silo and lower a tape measure down to see how much liquid was in there
- Going round a factory, randomly picking people, asking them their name and what they do
All were slightly bizzare considering I'm an accountant!
We also once sent a newbie to verify that there was a certain ship in the docks - but we told him that all ships must be under the command of a Captain at all times, and as such he needed to get a picture of him, with the Captain, wearing his hat.
Fair play to the guy, he did it.  |

I once became a pimp for a Portugese prostitute in Zimbabwe ( it was an accidental thing, I just happened to be living in a brothel).
Some years latter I used to go around Brum paying out male strippers in seedy pubs. If you have never seen a pair of drag queens blowing a guy to give him wood you aint ever lived.  ____________________ Bikers make great organ donors, get 115 on your licence today. |

At an aviation technology placement I once had to test aircraft testing equipment cables.
Not sure how many of them, possibly a couple hundred, each cable had two ends like a scart lead….something like 50 numbered pins on each end. The job was for one guy on one end and another guy on the other end to touch the same numbered pin on one end as the other and listen for a beep. If it beeps, it works.
I actually looked forward to going for a piss.  ____________________ Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

With a bloody huge gas powered gun, barrel diameter of maybe 4 inches and about 20 foot (yes, 20 foot!) long.

They got to do this day in, day out doing impact testing on various materials, especially armoured stuff.
Thought they had a pretty cool job meself. |
is that the mythical NASA chicken gun ?
| Quote: | Scientists at NASA built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at maximum velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.
British Rail engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to BR. When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked...as the chicken hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer's back-rest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin, like an arrow shot from a bow.
The horrified engineers sent NASA the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the US scientists for suggestions. NASA responded with a one-line memo:
"Defrost the chicken." |
