On my way to the office this morning, after hearing an auto advertisement on the radio, I was wondering how does one get the job of person at the end of an automobile commercial who speaks like an auctioneer rattling off verbiage (you know, the guy who speaks really fast talking about MSRP, and other restrictions, blah, blah, blah...)?
What kind of job is this? HOw does one get a job like this?
"When I grow up I want to be a person who speaks fast on advertisements?"


Any other weird jobs out there that you are wondering about?

I've always wanted to be the one who gets to think up the names for colors of paint - what an imagination they must have!

Several years ago, I was watching the New Detectives (or some other crime solvers show on Discovery.) They made reference to bringing in a forensic entomologist to eavaluate the parasites found feeding on a corpse. I got to wondering exactly how many forensic entomologists there could possibly be in the world. I imagine it's a job title that barely outnumbers 'Pope'...

If you think they are fast, spend some time in your state's senate or house when the "Reader" is reading the bill or legislation being presented.
