I am going to forward this to Michael Rowe with this note:
Okay Mr. Rowe, lets see you do a Dirty Jobs episode on this guys job. I dare you! Come on and let us see what you are made of. I have no doubt this would be the most popular episode ever.

That is really a shitty job!
A story for whenever you’re sitting around and thinking your life is the pits.

When I was in the navy my ship made a port visit to Karachi Pakistan. We had to anchor out of sight of land in order to have water clean enough to operate our salt water toilet flushing system.
Ha, ha, you guessed it! Now he needs to find someone’s daughter to marry.
Not for Jeff Bezos’ bankroll.
