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?

and talking of gruntersonce or twice i was forced to collect piggy poo out of a huge lagoon containing piggy poo for sampling purposes to assess whether it could be spread on the land....
this involved a lovely leisurely dinghy ride out in to the middle of said lagoon with a (fairly pointless) set of "safety" clothing on.
samples of both the solids & liquids, or in technical parlance, shit & piss, were required. for this I was paid the princely sum of less than £13k per annum pro rata with no allowance for holidays or sickness.
well done me.
