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?

Market Research in PubsI once got paid to visit pubs for 3 weeks!
The job was basic market research, counting the number of customers at different times of day, male/female split, approximate age split and rating the pub on various criteria (were the toilets clean, were the staff poilte, was there a clearly displayed price list and so on).
In addition to basic pay, I got a mileage allowance to compensate for the travel involved and also a drink allowance per pub visited.
Unfortunately as I had to drive from pub to pub I couldn't knock back a pint in each one, but that coupled with soem subtle fiddling of the mileage claims made it the best job ever.
