So you think washing dishes is tiring? Wait till you hear this 'massage uncle' grumble!

There is an online and coffeeshop buzz over the $3,000 dishwasher jobs that are said to be going a-begging. ST's cartoonist and "garmen people" have weighed in too (ST report, Sept 14), as well as insing.com...

But it is insing.com's follow-up story that really gives this saga the rub!...

Headlined "One man's dream job is another's man's nightmare", it has:

(a) the parody above, on YouTube video, of how the man in the screen grab find his job very stressful;
(b) a second YouTube video, of another stressful job -- a man collecting a bull's semen;
(c) a delightful write-up about other stressful jobs such as:

... having to sniff the armpits of strangers when deodorant companies want to test their products [and] burning human waste in sea vessels.

...Ever tasted pet food? Someone does that for a living, too. The Daily Mail reported that Mr Simon Allison, a senior food technologist for Marks & Spencer in the UK, have to taste the canned food before they go on the shop shelves. And unlike the grumpy [massage] “uncle” in the video, he enjoys his work.
