What is the worst job in the USA?

Now that I'm retired...the worst job would be ANY job.

On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section. You will need to purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson and Johnson. Be very sure you get this brand. When you get home, lock your doors, draw the drapes, and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed during your therapy. Change to very comfortable clothing, such as a sweat suit and lie down on your bed. Open the package and remove the thermometer. Carefully place it on the bedside table so that it will not become chipped or broken. Take out the material that comes with the thermometer and read it. You will notice that in small print there is a statement:

"Every rectal thermometer made by Johnson and Johnson is personally tested"

Now close your eyes and repeat out loud five times: "I am so glad I do not work for quality control at the Johnson and Johnson Company".

Have a nice day everyone and remember, there is always someone with a worse job than yours.

ScottS,

I am responding to this post from the floor. I have been doubled over in laughter and not able to get back to my chair. I read your post to my wife and she is also beside herself with laughter. Well done!!

It's not that risky, those guys have strict safety protocols and are either caged or tied off at all times. My trade was more dangerous than that and I had no problem getting life insurance.
