The strangest thing I've ever done for a buck was pick one up off the ground. I thought that was strange. (shrug)

Did they pay you or did you work for tips?

My memory is crap nowadays so this probably isn't the strangest, but I would charge my friends and their boots $100-120 to do Leading Marines for them. I pretty much had the answers memorized and would get it done in 30-40 minutes. It was insane how much money I was making so quickly.

I guess the strangest thing I ever did was USE the resulting sheets of TDA's foreskin 'skin' in our health products lab.  (The other guy in the lab had to scrub up for surgery to receive skin for research from breast reduction operations. For some reason everybody wanted to do that job.) If this counts, my friend worked in a slaughter house where he burned the bristles off of pigs with a blow torch. This came out at lunch one day because we also bought pig skin for research and yours truly got the job of pulling the bristles out with a pair of pliers

Did he get chicharrones as a byproduct?

Was the bristle burner's job title called "flamer"?

Collect cans around the lake, and donate plasma (yes, they pay for that).

I'll have to ask him. Darn, we really missed a chance of saddling him with a work-appropriate nickname
