xray turkey
One summer when at college I got a job at Epping Hospital working in the xray filing room. I had to go through all the stacks and locate files older than 10 years and pull them.

I would put the files in one pile and take the xrays to another small building where they were stored until the "Silver Nitrate Man" would come in his big van to cart 'em away. He'd extract all the yummy silver and give some of the cash back to the hospital.

I got to see what a lot of strangers insides looked like. Most fun.


Oh, I also worked as a butchers boy. Not that odd, until Christmas, when the turkey rush was on. We had a mini-production line going where we'd pluck, slice, butcher, and dress the birds. I would go back to my girlfriends house and walk right up the stairs into a waiting bath whilst she held her nose - I totally stank.

I can't look at turkeys in the same light now. Fat bastards.
