The Taite Guide to Easy Jobs

Easy Jobs

The nine easiest jobs on the planet.

Originally I meant to list ten but it was too much like work.

9. Lifeguard at the baby pool. z z z z z z

8. The holy water fountain filler in a Catholic Church.

7. Robin of Batman and Robin Fame: everyone knows Batman does all the work.

6. The Weatherman in Dubai:

5. Fast food restaurant critic: The fries were OK but the coke could have done with more zest.

4. Experienced bra fitter. I saw an ad for this job on Craig’s list, I swear

3. Secret shopper. Work entails going to the mall everyday with a hollywood star’s credit card and buying stuff. You get to shop till you drop and get payed for your time too. It’s a shopaholic’s heaven.

2. Vodka taster. After the second bottle you forgot who employs you

1. A dice inspector. Someone has to check that the dice used in Vegas crap games are kosher and have all the numbers from 1 to 6, why shouldn’t it be you?
