I think the one job I wouldn't do now, that I have done when I was younger, was cucumber polisher.

Wouldn't do again?
Fish canning factory worker ( - the smell darling, the smell) Gut sausage (andouille) factory worker (don't even ask!) Teaching in a French state school (nerves won't stand it) Housewife (bored out of my tiny brain) Wouldn't consider if offered? Terrorist (too mouthy - stand out like a sore thumb in a crowd, not the ideal for a suicide bomber) Drug dealer (no that really is a moral decision) Fashion model (I hate being the Before picture in the Before and After articles)

What I wouldn't do now is very different from what I wouldn't do when I was out of money, abroad and very, very hungry.

I'd work in all but the first one. Mind you, the last one I'd probably be asked to leave after about an hour.

You know, my mind is just a mess, so don't ask me for clarification.
As for Simon, I'm glad to "know" someone that has had those sort of experiences - but I don't know if I could have done that. I'm sure he has some great stories though. My life is just tooooooo boring. -bf

Actually,
I was making a comment earlier in this thread about a job that ZM had once - a cucumber polisher. Now, if that ain't full of double entendre, I don't know what is! -bf

Why would one need to really polish a cucumber (literally...don't be getting any ideas, bf)? I wish ZM was here to explain that a little further for us!

"Erotic" wasn't really the word I would have used. Something more like "weird", "strange", or "a big fat waste of time and energy" are more like it.
