Dirty Jobs-Sewage Lift Pump

[beige_alert]

Well, tonight we got to see Mike Rowe visit the sewage treatment plant on Dirty Jobs on the Discovery Channel.

I know there’s a German Discovery channel, do you get Dirty Jobs over there? I see American Chopper on the web site. I suppose they dub that, and I don’t know how they go about dubbing a bunch of motorcycles builders arguing constantly. Must be...special.

Anywho, sewage lift pump replacement is pretty much as icky as it sounds. But we don’t get smells over TV, so it’s kind of fun to watch. It would make a charming children’s story, wouldn’t it? Something like “Billy The Bunny Visits The Sewage Plant.” There are...liquids...flowing all over, and...solids...covering everything. Mike Rowe again demonstrates that the job of a television host is very glamorous. Not. Also in this episode were turkey farming and potato farming.

Once upon a time I had a job that involved digging out the access hatch for a cesspool that was overflowing (and, as a result, covered in hip-deep weeds.) That wasn't the most fun job ever.
