It might have been on the Lew Rockwell website (sorry), but There was a cool story somewhere on the internet quite a few years back, I remember about legacy pensions. It was something like “the international order of pineal water carriers”; but I can’t find anything cached. Basically, about 1,000 years ago the folks who would run ice/snow down from the mountains to the plains before the advent of refrigeration, they formed a union, had a pension, get this, that was transferable to spouses or children?

Anyway the windup was, the government was still paying out some pensions up until the 1870s or something like that. yikes.
