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?

Hot as HellI worked in a vinegar factory just before uni. The stench was unimaginable and couldn't be washed off. Also all the jobs involved the vinegar being hot so I had lots of nice little burns on my hands too.
The factory wasn't modernised so one of the jobs I had to do was to put the little paper packing slips into the trays of vinegar bottles as they rattled down the ceramic rollers towards the cling film wrapper. An endless stream of trays with me putting a little bit of paper in each because I was cheaper than a machine. And the vinegar being hot I singed the back of my hand slightly more with each one. For 3/4 hours at a time...
Needless to say I got a better job pretty sharpish.
