Feces Piper.
Used in a sentence, "I don't know if it's because of my early attraction to odd trivia or growing up with Dave Letterman's Top Ten List (the original which was decidedly more random and not the Late Show Top Ten List once he switched networks), but I have to say that the 10 Worst Jobs in Science as printed in Popular Science caught my eye -- particularly the listing for Feces Piper."
In this economy, I guess any job is a good job, but in the spirit of Dolly's 9to5, Johnny Paycheck's "Take This Job and Shove It", and the two-snaps-and-a-slide-exit of the JetBlue flight attendant, I have to think these folks might want to be looking elsewhere: Armpit Detective,
Sneeze Modeler, Dung Curator, Doomsday Fact-checker, Oceanic-snot Diver, Tissue Reaper, Bad-dance Observer, Bean Counter, Whale Slasher and Feces Piper (who is "someone who feeds fecal matter through a tube from a healthy person into a person infected with the C. difficile bacteria to fight it").
Best science job to which you can aspire (if you can get it): Multi-species Baby Tickler.
