Well, I must admit whenever I see the adjectives "weird" or "strange" I automatically feel the need to know more lol what is so weird? what is so strange? Sometimes I find it intriguing and sometimes I wish I didn't know lol

This article is all about the "strangest jobs in America". 247tempo.com did the piece and listed the "strangest" jobs in the United States. Including right here in the Garden State. Now before we go further let me say this, anyone who works for a living is a winner in my book. It doesn't matter what the job is, just have one if you can. Working is good on many levels and if you can do one of the "strange" professions listed in their article and make a living, then good for you!

In the 247tempo article, they selected the strangest job for every state in America. The selection for New Jersey was, are you ready, gum buster! Yup gum removal is the pick for Jersey. Hey, it's something that has to be done, who wants to step in gum, or who wants a business with gum tossed everywhere? By the way, if you chew gum, don't be such a lazy slob that you simply spit it out when finished, discard it properly like a normal human.

If you need a service and wonder who does this work, who are you gonna call? their article mentions Gum Busters of NY - NJ. They deal with gum and getting it removed before we step into it.

So what do you think? do you agree with this profession as the "strangest" in New Jersey? would you suggest a "stranger" profession? post your comments below we always love hearing from you.

If you see someone spit gum whack him in the back of the head and make them pick it up.

Tell them they are spreading CIVD - those kind of people are stupid enough to believe it

For one thing, they'd run out of places to put their feet when they walked. :^)

Gum removal is definitely not the weirdest job in the world. I think all the serious candidates for weirdest job involve... assisting... animal reproduction.

I would have suggested the guys with three wheeled bikes with a garbage can between the back wheels and shovel who ride the streets of Mackinac Island scooping up horse manure. Cars are banned on the island and most transportation is by horse drawn vehicles with horses that dump their smelly poop in the streets. The quaintness of the island was lost on me when I was enjoying my morning coffee at a sidewalk table when a horse drawn delivery wagon pulled up to the curb and the horse did his smelly business not three feet in front of me.

A Gum Buster can also be a DNA Collector

Saw an ad for a “debeeker” once. Chicken farmers chop off the end of their beek so they don’t injure each other.
