I think I just saw the most amusing job in the world. - GoFuckYourself.com

First off, for anyone who is going to say this job would suck because it's cold, cold doesn't bother me at all. I live in Cleveland and I haven't even put on a jacket so far this year (except when I had to change a tire).

I am watching PBS and I look up and see some guy in a little boat shooting a high-powered rifle at an iceberg. I swear to you I am not making this up. The man's job title: "Iceberg harvester". LOL, that is so cool. "Iceberg harvester." That is one amusing-sounding job. You get to go out into the beautiful ice floes and shoot at them with large-caliber weaponry.

I watch a lot of PBS. Nova, Nature, Antiques Roadshow, Scientific American Frontiers, Frontline, National Geographic... PBS kicks all the other networks' asses. Despite what RedShoe says, I'm quite straight.

FATHER: Son, what do you want to be when you grow up?

KID: Daddy, I want to be an Iceberg Harvester.

FATHER: But, son I want you to be a doctor, a lawyer or at least a pornographer like me.

KID: No Daddy, I want to help the world and harvest Icebergs.

FATHER: But why not any of the other 3 occupations?

KID: Daddy, those 3 occupations are all the same. Doctors make you strip naked, lawyers make you bend over and take it in the ass, and pornographers make you do both of those things.

FATHER:

my g/f was reading me an article the other day from National Geographic about a guy who actually drags icebergs with a giant boat and a 300 ft. rope. I can't find the article online, but here's something similar: http://www.expeditionsail.com/librar...ngicebergs.htm

Yep, I watched that one. I thought it was interesting at the end when they said there's a good chance that the plane they chose would be the last manned fighter to go into production.

Aaaaaargh, I be huntin' me a mighty 'berg!

Iceberg harvester sounds like what you become when you realize there aren't any real pirate jobs, anymore. Sounds like fun to me.
