Embalmer

EmbalmerJust because you’re dead doesn’t mean you can’t be clean which is exactly why we have embalmers in the world. They scrub the body, disinfect it, and then inject it with the right chemicals to preserve it before the burial. And oh yea, they also have to make sure the people are really dead. Not a job for the faint of heart.

Lift Pump Remover

Lift Pump RemoverEvery time you flush a toilet the waste is sent off to the treatment plant for processing. Upon arrival at the plant, the first thing that happens to the waste is it enters the 5 story high lift pump chamber. The problem however, is that sometimes the pump breaks. At this point a person wearing a full body suit along with SCUBA gear has to swim through the mess of excrement and tie a rope to the pump so that it can be pulled out and replaced.
