Historical Filth - the Worst Job in History

[rilnator]

Being a speed bump. I did it for 2 1/2 years down at my local shops and beleive me- It aint worth $8.45 an hour!

They must do things differently in Oz. Around here, in civilization, we use long strips of raised paving for speed bumps. And they don't get paid.

Since the other three were assassinated, the other guy you probably meant was James Garfield. He was shot, but died from the poor treatment he received from the doctors who were trying to save his life.

However, other presidents have died in office. FDR died in his fourth term. Harrison, Taylor, & Harding all also died in office.

You can only make a bridge out of a witch if she's turned you into a newt first (but you can get better).:mutant:

what about a solider in the Austro-Hungarian Army during WWI. they had 90% casualty rates, and 12% of all Austro-Hungarian soliders died.

How about being a 'real Air Force Historian'? It can suck big time! You have to depend on others to provide you source documents so you can write a 100+ report detailing your wing's annual accomplishments.

Death rate among Paraguayan soldiers during the War of the riple alliance were in excess of 95%. Over 90% of the entire male population was killed.

Still, they had nice weather and good food, so being King of Scotland was still worse.

I think the worst job in history is to be nurse in a house full with demented seniors.

Then he shoulnd't have been riding, especially near a cliff. Why is everyone blaming him anyways? the Horse also played a part in it.

Ye auld trewe friends do nae let friends drink and ride.

Ever heard of the 20 year curse. Bush is scheduled to be the next president to die, get killed, or shot. If it doesnt happen b4 november, id say the election's in the bag . One of many reasons Bush will win the election.

The worst job in history probably included some kind of slave labor. I would say the people that built the pyramids but i understand they were hansomly paid. The americans captured by the japanese during WW2 that were forced to build the railroad in southeast asia probably had it worst.

The worst job in the world currently is the human minesweeper. Concept is simple: line up orphins of war, and simply send them across a minefield. This has been happening in Sudan for over 30 years now. Ive known about this since 1999 because members from my church went there to see the suffering firsthand. Why is it that only now the liberal media decides to make a story outta the sudanese civil war? Can anyone say distraction from emabarassing democratic candidate? Let them eat ketchup!!!

worst job ever, poop smith, they shovelled excrement out of the moat

You never know, he may choke on another pretzel.

And BTW, the curse was placed by the Cherokee chief when Andrew Jackson rounded them all up and sent them on the trail of tears.
