Thursday Prompt: The Old Dope Peddler
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/22483103/
This week’s prompt is given to us by Yelleena: Yesteryears jobs. She gave us these examples from which you may pick.
"Vanished Jobs of yesteryear": these are jobs that virtually don't exist any more.
'knocker-uppers' - people who literally knocked on doors and windows to wake you up
'pin monkeys' or 'pinsetter'- young people who set the pins in bowling alleys
'lamp lighters' - back to the era of gas street lamps
'elevator operators'
'Leech collectors'
'milkman' - although rare we still have a few here in Australia
'rat catchers'
'switchboard operator'
'Log Drivers' - Log drivers would transport logs and lumber from the forest to the mill by dragging them through rivers.
'A Lector' - A Person Who Entertains Factory Workers
'Plague doctors'
'resurrectionist' or 'Resurrection-men' - grave robbers who dug up bodies from cemeteries for universities etc
'town crier' - we still see these occasionally but not often
'ice cutter' - Before modern refrigeration techniques became widespread, ice cutters would saw up the ice on frozen lakes for people to use in their cellars and refrigerators.
food testers' and 'food safety testers' - literally those that tried food before others to make sure it wasn't off or poisoned
'Phrenologists' from the 1800 based on the shape of your head to identify basic personality traits.
'gandy dancers' were in charge of laying track for the railroads. Gandy dancers were famous for singing songs as they toiled.
'street sweepers'
'radio actors'
'Pre-Radar Listeners'
'Coal Stoker'
'Quarrymen'
'Necessary Woman' - A servant responsible for emptying and cleaning chamber pots
'Lungs' - An alchemist's servant whose duty it was to fan the fire.
Considering that this tune was specifically designed to take the piss out of sentimental songs about lovable characters, I simply couldn't resist.
If you did not enjoy this song, you certainly won't enjoy this collection:

Available from Amazon and other disreputable websites worldwide!
Me? I got it from Agnes...

Oh good grief more screeching of laughter echo's in my house. I wrote a piece on the Herring Caller and Marmelmm put up this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i50E_6UzMI

Oh this is just what I need right now, still can't see properly due to damage to my left eye, my car broke down, had to be at a funeral, re-organised all that, got everything up an running again, get home, fixed the car and now I'm tired but extremely, extremely happy. Thank you for starting me down the road of sillyness. *hugs*
