Another candidate for 'Worst Job In The World'


I nominated one candidate early in my blogging career - the sewage diver. Now, from the Reuters Oddly Enough blog, comes this one:



A doctor cleans the rectum of Jamilah, a 29-year-old female elephant,
before conducting a four-dimensional ultrasound exam.



Uh . . . OK, I'll accept 'elephant proctologist' as a pretty lousy job as well - particularly if the beast is suffering from diarrhea at the time!

Hey, thanks for linking to my Oddly Enough blog. Please come back often and bring your friends.

Hey, wouldn't it be great if the elephant proctologist and the sewage diver were the same guy, and he just keeps changing careers?

Best regards,
Bob Basler

Large animal vets spend an inordinate amount of time up to the shoulder inside one tract or another. I doubt it bothers him much at this point- at least it's nice and roomy in there.
