Strange Job Titles
« on: July 22, 2005, 03:35:10 PM »
After last night's Jeopardy in which Britney Harris, originally from West Union, West Virginia (10 minutes from where I live), says her job title is a Dance Therapist in a Maximum Security Forensic Mental Hospital.  Now a group of us is playing where the heck does she work (location-wise), and this may be the weirdest job title ever.  The only one that comes to mind is more ironic that weird.  It is the guy who came on Match Game who owned a little motel in Encino.  Are there other weird job titles that have come up in game shows?

Ironically, the only part of that that I understood was the part where he misused the word "ironic."

Thanks for the critique of my writing, and I will look up the definition of irony.

Also, I swear on the driving skills of Janice Pennington that that is the actual job title that came out of Alex's mouth.

Anyway, lets get back to the question at hand.  Also, I remember on the 4000th episode of Wheel that featured a guy who was a clown/mortician.

Reminds me of watching some of the old Cullen PiR's, and some of the various things I remember seeing that would NEVER happen in this day and age, like:

* Bill Cullen drawing the name of a home viewer, and giving out their ENTIRE ADDRESS (including street location!).
* Bill Cullen giving the winner of a trip the addresses of the other three contestants so postcards could be sent to them.

Clemon thanks for calling me a clown.  I would have rather been called the mortician.  Anyway, would you like to teach me about how to write on the game show blog.

I really do not think that is possible.  Modern science is not that advanced.

I noticed that too...and wondered if those people could still be at that address.  It was only 40 years ago...some people do stay at an address for that long.
