Salute, for those who like to break someone else's account, there was a second list of unusual professions.

Hired relative
My job is difficult and responsible. You will never guess that I am on the official service for the provision of hired relatives and friends. I live in China. Such are our traditions. Why am I invited? If some serious person organizes a wedding or a banquet and he lacks "relatives". Actually, in this way, they raise the status in the eyes of acquaintances or friends. Why are you surprised? They say that such services are provided all over the world, only unofficially.

Chimney sweep
"Chimney sweeps in Europe are not extinct yet. For those who believe that we are all the time up to our ears in mud - this is not so. Not every day we get into the chimneys. But if at work, then a passer- by beware! I know, that earlier it was forbidden for chimney sweeps to walk on the sidewalks so as not to get people dirty. And now I will reveal a little secret: do you think why I need a large and tall top hat? Not for beauty, of course, in the 18th century it was worn for safety (instead of a helmet): suddenly a brick will fall on your head or soot will fall

Gondolier
"How how?" - do not ask again. Especially if you are in Venice. My profession is rare, respected and, as a rule, inherited. How many gondoliers do you think there are on our planet? There are 425 people in total and everyone is here in one city. If you think that every fisherman who drives his fragile boat can handle a gondola, then you are greatly mistaken. This profession is difficult, male. Although no, there is one woman among us who miraculously made her way to the Guild, but it was not easy for her: we are not accustomed to the female sex being the boss on the ship, and we do not like to talk about our work. "

The gouger of curses. At the crossroads in ancient Rome, scribes sat and hollowed out the most refined curses on lead and clay planks. They believed that the gods would read these plates and punish the offender.

Tear sellers. In Asian countries, people are used to restraining themselves, so the funeral is served by special mourners. The prices for the services of such personnel look something like this: crying - 1 coin; howling crying - 3 coins; hysterical crying with howling and falling to his knees - 7 coins; sobbing in the chest, tearing clothes and rolling on the ground - 20 coins. Before starting work, you must pass a test for knowledge of traditions, the ability to sob dramatically and instantly calm down.

Name of dresses. A man of this profession comes up with sonorous names for the clothes of the new collection. "Drops of Blood on Garibaldi", "Rice Pudding of Jawaharlava", "Seduction of the Prince of Bohemia" and even "Hippie Boy, Take Me!" - this is his handiwork.

Breath taster. Tests the efficacy of chewing gum by sniffing the breath of people with aching teeth, after consuming garlic or alcohol. A good gum should drown it all out.

Dice expert. This person lives in a world of accidents. Moreover, he is responsible for ensuring that this world remains so. After uncovering several dice scams, casinos began hiring dice experts. Real professionals have the most sensitive fingers and a trained eye. After all, they are the ones who guarantee that the probability of getting a three, and a four, and a six is exactly the same. Reader Tip: The easiest way to test a dice without special equipment is to throw it into a glass of water. If the bone does not spin, then it is of high quality.

Entertainer-entertainer. A dedicated entertainer entertains cigar spinners to maximize product quality. He reads positive news, poison jokes, sings funny songs, recites funny poems and puns non-stop.

Distribute the cigars by color. A person of this profession needs to distinguish at least 70 shades of brown in order to arrange cigars in boxes according to their shade. All this is done for special tobacco connoisseurs.

Fumelier. And the fumelier will perfectly match the cigar to the alcoholic drink and your mood.

Pathoecologist. Examines the remains of historical excrement and parasites in them to determine the diet of our ancient ancestors.

Rattlesnake milker. This man extracts poison from snakes for medical purposes. Just imagine how he risks! For example, a taipan snake can kill 250,000 mice in one bite.

Milkman karakurt. And this person gets up to 30 meters of web at a time. This material is used in optics.

Ape man. Recently, terrorist monkeys nearly took over the train station in the large city of Lucknow, India. They attacked passengers, hindered trains. And salvation came unexpectedly. One of the local residents, Achkan Mian, for only $ 7 a day runs around the station in a monkey costume, to the delight of children and unfortunately to real monkeys. The latter are frightened and no longer attack the station.

Heel tickler. The kings of Ancient Persia did not deny themselves various pleasures: they kept harems, ate their fill, hunted, rode on elephants and bathed in gold. And to excite the sacred laughter, so necessary to improve the mood, they kept a tickler at court. A man of this profession had a whole set of bird feathers (from nightingale to peacock), thanks to which he received different shades of laughter: from light laughter to real laughter with tears.

Funeral clown. The deceased dances around his own coffin, jokes, sings and laughs - this is a typical picture from ancient Roman life. No, the Romans did not raise the dead, but simply arranged a real holiday from the funeral. The main thing in this fun was the funeral clown, who disguised himself as the deceased and parodied him as best he could. And they came to look at the most talented clowns for money.

Tasters from Amsterdam. At the annual marijuana festival in Amsterdam, weed growers compete in many categories: the tastiest marijuana, the most beautiful in color, the funniest, with the strongest effect ... The winner is determined by judges who have to taste up to 30 varieties of weed a day. And while the winners are being awarded for the brightest effect, they are trying to return the tasters from the "Land of Laughter".

Therapy testers. For three weeks you are tied to the bed, for three weeks without a single movement, the bed is tilted to the side of the head, from which it constantly buzzes, and red spots appear in front of your eyes ... This is not medieval torture, but research that can help astronauts. 15 volunteers agreed to it. After that, they underwent restorative therapy. By the way, the volunteers received 6 thousand dollars for this.

Wiper. Kings and princes cannot always do everything. According to the traditions of many peoples, they do not even have the right to touch some intimate parts of their bodies. Worthless for a regal person. And then the royal wiper gets down to business. He is responsible with his head for the purity of the imperial 5th point. This position was very prestigious and there was, for example, a general wiper.

Barking detective of dogs. Imagine that you are a resident of Stockholm (Sweden). You bought yourself a dog, but you don't want to pay tax on it. Then the tax office sends Elfrida Carlson to you. This woman goes from door to door and barks at 20 different frets. And 100% of dogs respond by giving themselves away with their head, paws and tail. By barking, Elfriede determines the breed and age of the dog, and then issues invoices to the owners of the four-legged.
