Dirty Jobs
There are a lot of dirty jobs out there. With all the mudslinging going on in the political arena these days, you'd think I was talking about the State of the Union address last night. Well, not quite.
In our home, we love watching the show Dirty Jobs w/ Mike Rowe on The Discovery Channel. Their website sums up the show very well:
Like at the seriousness of making "poo pots". Yes, biodegradable pots made out of cow poo! Hey, it's a real product, and there's a pretty complex process to make the things. Yet the truth is, you still have your hands in poo a lot. Even had the guy in a rowboat going across a poo-pond. Now that's dirty.
Mike Rowe is a great host. He makes us laugh every time we watch. He's the perfect guy for the job. Funny though, considering the guy used to sing professionally with the Baltimore Opera! Imagine what his mom must have thought! Yes, my son was a professional opera singer, and now he plays in poo all day. Every mom's dream!
The producers are always looking for suggestions for dirty jobs that Mike Rowe could participate in for the show. Well, I've got a few.
1. Stay-at-home-mom. Especially of multiple kids. Especially boys. Mud, dirt, bugs, sand-in-the-hair, and all kinds of messes are typical. But you really want dirty? Try potty-training, cleaning vomit off of sofas, and exploding diapers. Funny how the most important job in the world can also be one of the most disgusting.
2. The Mysteriousus Smell in Georgia. I don't know what it is. But driving down I-95 through Georgia, you better shut off all outside air to your car as you approach mile-marker 70. I don't think I have ever smelled anything worse while driving in a car... and I've driven through rural areas and farmland all over the world. You think skunks and cow pastures smell bad? It's nothing compared to the smell around mile-marker 70 on I-95 in Georgia. It wasn't a one-time-thing either. We passed there twice, a week apart, and the smell was just as bad both times. Whatever that smell is, Mike Rowe and the Dirty Jobs team needs to investigate!
If all else fails, perhaps the dirtiest job of all is the American politician. There is more cow-poo slung around by politicians than anything I've ever seen on Dirty Jobs. And with the next Presidential election fast approaching, it's bound to get really dirty.
In our home, we love watching the show Dirty Jobs w/ Mike Rowe on The Discovery Channel. Their website sums up the show very well:
Each week the host, Mike Rowe, visits a different hard-working American, working in a job that would disgust most of us. Think "garbage pit technician", "skull cleaner", "casino food recycler", and just about any job that has anything to do with "poo". He goes about the jobs with both a sense of respect and disgust. I mean, these folks are working hard jobs! But sometimes you just have to laugh too.Welcome to Dirty Jobs, the new Discovery Channel series that profiles the unsung American laborers who make their living in the most unthinkable -- yet vital -- ways.
