IronJambo Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I was speaking to my mates bird at a wedding at the weeked and she's a scientist. I knew she was involved in a pretty major project but since i was hearing about at the stag do the details were more than hazy. well, she's currently training buzzy bee's to sniff out drugs. apparently they're easier to work with and are more reliable than dogs as they don't get bored so easily. they stick their tongues out when they find a naughty parcel so do you have a crazy job?

tommythejambo Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 That sounds like someone made that up. I've never done anything that interesting, sometimes totally make something up when I meet people to see how gullable they are. Been training to be an astronaut (which someone believed for 10 minutes) and a member of the River City supporting cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor FinnBarr Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 My Mrs used to hoover sheep in a slaughterhouse! They were hung up and dead tho, and it was hoovered to get rid of bits of skin and wool that had been missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Grimes Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 it sounds like that but believe me its very real. we did have a good laugh about it. how large is a bee's tongue that you can see it? and do you have to put them on a wee leash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoranus Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I work as a plumber. Not really weird you say? Well weird stuff still happens. Was working on a job the other week. Fixing the pipes for the toilets. Some arsehole decided to use them and proceeded to shite all over my face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del1812 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 You know when your not sure how to do something, or enough about something, and you just type it into google to see what comes up? Well, I write for a website that produces the articles that come up. It's only part time though. My other part time job is a barman in a Casino... unfortunately nothing weird (or remotely interesting) about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomstick Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I lie about my job all the time. Usually tell folks I'm a white slave trader. I've also been the guy that puts the plastic on the end of your shoelaces among other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger_84 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Can anyone ever say that they haven't lied about what they do for a living at some point? When I was out at a club or bar I would say to many a gullable female that I used to be a child model for Kays catalogue! Suprising how many people falled for it!

Walrus Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Please, please say she believed him... There was that 15 second pause where she was thinking "really?" but I think the ever growing smirks on our faces gave it away. Still great to laugh about it though given he has a really Scottish name and absolutely no Italian blood in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignoranus Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 My mate tells girls in clubs he works for a charity organisation who give dying children one last wish. Flying them off to Florida to swim with dolphins etc etc. A tear in the eye usually helps seal the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.Wright Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I'm a cat handler for an estate egents. Basically when an estate agent shows clients round a property that is on the small side im put on standby. As soon as one of the clients, normally the female, says " you couldn't swing a cat in here" thats when I come in, and show them you can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cairneyhill Jambo Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I used to be a gamekeeper in the Borders when I was younger, and I suppose to some people, that may be a weird job. Not exactly a typical nine til five job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
