What is the craziest job you thought about doing?

[image deleted]
I was going to be an adult language and arts teacher/ running trainer to rich old people.

Everyday we would run somewhere in Utah and discuss a piece of writing or a writer. I would give the lectures through headsets John Donne, Dylan Thomas, Hemmingway And I would give out assignments and stuff.馃槀馃槀

@SW-User santa claus can be female too. They are nice. Also they called fairies. Lol

@Lostpoet that would be my best bet.

@SW-User If you want to be a ventriloquist you can, at least for a year or two if your mini-me can follow a comedic routine 馃槒 馃槆

got an offer from triple canopy on my last tour, considered it but ultimately turned it down. They were a relatively new private contractor firm at the time and didn't have a very good reputation.
wildbill8336-40, M
@Lostpoet sure, it pays good; but it can also ruin your reputation given how many scandals they get caught up in
LostpoetM
@wildbill83 Yeah but you do it for three years mive back to the states and you are set for life.

I would never work for some third world conglomerate though. Because like you said all the shady stuff that goes on.

@Lostpoet companies like Blackwater were despised and hated the entire time I was deployed. They were just a bunch of trigger happy retards; and more often than not, would destroy any rapport/trust we had with friendly locals/villages, and get our translators & informants killed. Then of course when they bit off more than they could chew, they ran away, and we had to clean up their messes.

Becoming a porn star and my name would be Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - come on now -what was his parents thinking about when they named him -?
MarmeeMarchM
@Lostpoet really ? - then I just have a dirty mind then
LostpoetM
@MarmeeMarch I think that name will go far in that business to bad guys don't make jack in that industry.
MarmeeMarchM

I wish I could just spend time finding the [b][i][u]perfect[/u][/i][/b] book for every kid...you know the one...it is the book that got you hooked on reading for the rest of your life!

Now I will make that a question!
ViperM
@BexEyes I'm still looking for that book, I don't think I'm ever gonna get hooked though, but some have opened my eyes some to why reading can be interesting or open your mind.
BexEyes46-50, F
I suppose not everyone does...but I鈥檇 like to think they could. @Viper
ViperM
@BexEyes It's a great dream! And I seriously wish you best of luck in it, getting more people reading and exploring mentally is a great thing! :)

Probably a complex machine designer, I had an idea for a new flying vehicle and robits. In reality it probably has too many moving parts and would be better for sci-fi then reality

LostpoetM
@Viper Wow, that's bad ass.
ViperM
@Lostpoet Yeah I was very creative as a kid, sadly I've lost that to some degree, but I like crazy out of the box ideas... most of which seem impossible (and some admittedly are)... but if you took our current cell phone ideas back to the 1980s they would of thought they were impossible. So a small few could of potentially worked with years of work... but sadly I'm not going in that direction.

Mine was to create a course for university grads where they could learn all the important things an education in religion and philosophy fails to teach. It worked.
LostpoetM
@PrivatePeeks I'm glad you were able to do that.

Going into a coal mine that had exploded to try and recover bodies.
wildbill8336-40, M
@SageWanderer sounds about like doing BDA on caves in afghanistan after being bombed by air force; assuming they didn't collapse, there usually isn't enough left to tell what parts belong to whom...
SageWanderer70-79, M
@wildbill83 I didn't do it but from what I understand the fire that followed cremated all the bodies.
wildbill8336-40, M
@SageWanderer high heat in enclosed space for any duration, usually isn't enough to recover...

馃槀 you were gonna make old people do homework?

@SW-User Maybe馃檮
