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

I've paid my dues godammitNight shift in a bread factory, 8 hours of standing over a conveyor belt, watching as all the little individual trays of pre-baked dough passed by.
My purpose, to pick off any odd lumps so all the bread was nicely bread-shaped when it passed through the oven on the other side of the warehouse.
It's amazing how quickly the smell of freshly baked bread slipped way, way down my 'best smells ever' list.
The only positive thing to be taken from this experience, was the fact that any subsequent job I've had, however dull, has felt like a non-stop rock and roll mind-scramble of excitement.
