Worst jobs in history?
Worst jobs in history?
Has anyone else out there seen the show "Worst jobs in History?"
I found it on the History Channel International, I think. I also think it was a BBC 4 program.
It was a series, looking at the worst jobs in certain time periods. Very funny.
Of course, if I have time, I might make a few vig's of them...

First thing that came to my mind was Mell Brooks's movie "History of the World. Part I". There was a guy with a bucket whose position was ...., well ... "piss boy". I guess you get it right.
The second thing - Black Adder's Baldrick.
