2. Hair Boiler

This
gets to boil various kinds of animal hair until it curls for later use. We know that burning hair smells terrible; try to imagine catching the aroma of hair boil soup all day, no thanks.

3. Waste Station/Water Treatment Worker

Maybe more dirty than weird, but anytime someone has to deal with
(literally) I think you can classify it as a weird job. Let us just take a minute to think about the things that go down our toilets and have a moment of silence for these brave men and women.

4. Citrus Fruit Dyer

Have you ever passed by the lemons at the supermarket and though to yourself, damn that's some good looking citrus! Well it might be because there commercial
out there who dye the fruit a more vibrant color to hide the ripeness of the fruit.

5. Crocodile Wrangler

Many of us are privy to this unusual occupation due to the late, great
, but no matter how accustomed we become to
it will always be a little out there. A nice mix of danger and excitement for what many would consider low pay.

6. Fortune Cookie

Yes, we've all wondered who the heck
! Finishing a take-out Chinese meal isn't only full of MSG, but those delightfully witty pieces of advice that people are so quick to heed.

7. Pet

Another one we might have missed if it weren't for a film or television show. Ace Ventura,

Here is another job which could be more on the dirty side. The unfortunate person partaking in
is sure to be covered in soot and ash by the end of the day. It a fact that around the turn of the twentieth century people use to use young children to

11. Light Bender

Making
seems like it would be a relatively easy job, but it requires a lot of precision and
. Apparently if the lights don't have the proper thickness and shaping, they will amount to nothing more than broken glass. This job has to be quite lucrative in a town like Las Vegas.

12. Odd Job

This
gets actually paid money to write articles about other weird and odd jobs that exist. Maybe someday he'll find a real job of his own. Hey, wait a minute...

13. Professional Whistler

See you there, Loralee!
