I once spent two years being paid by the UK government to play Quake.
What's the strangest thing you've been paid to do?

wheat merchants (again near ipswich)
I would jump from a specially constructed platform onto the top of lorries full of rape seed, wheat or barley while they waited on a weigh bridge, plunge a 'spear' to the bottom of the load which extracted a sample for moisture content, and then take a top sample, which i would check for ickle evil grainbugs.
the bastards didnt tell me barley dust is like fibreglass. in summer heat, up to your ankles in barley, while sweating, it sticks to you and causes horrible itching.
and scars.
the bastards.
