Mike Rowe A Bunch of Poo?
Shall we applaud this man? Or intervene with professional help?
I would suggest the first one.
This man is bringing to the forefront, what many hard working Americans have been doing for years.
DIRTY JOBS
His 150th Show just aired! Did you see it?
The Host of DIRTY JOBS, which can be seen on the Discovery Channel
Is an informative look at various jobs throughout America. Not only do they require expertise in their given field, but also for some, a very strong stomach.
I would consider myself quite a tomboy, growing up with four brothers. Pretty tough, yet I would have hurled on the first job. Wow that was feminine.
This is my dedication to all of you who may have jobs that give you a bunch of POO
And to Mike Rowe for his wit, humor, and hands on approach.

Mike Rowe March 18 1962
Meet The Man
I could begin with the fact that he's easy on the eyes. But that isn't what this is about. Although, if that's what you want? SQUIDWHO can help!It is a simple review of a man who isn't afraid to get dirty.
Michael Gregory Rowe was born on March 18, 1962 in Baltimore, Maryland.
Oldest of three brothers,
He was a Eagle scout.
Mike attended Towson State University in Maryland.
His hobbies include writing, and running
Stands, a whopping 6'0"
Narrator for The Deadliest Catch and The Ultimate Fighter
Celebrity Endorsement for Ford Motors
He appeared in several dozen Tylenol commercials
The show came out of yet another job Mr. Rowe briefly held, as a host of a Bay Area television program called "Evening Magazine." He shot a segment about a cow inseminator, plunging headfirst into a topic that most talking heads would have shied away from. The segment, called "Somebody's Got to Do It," was "breathtakingly inappropriate," Mr. Rowe said. "We put it on the air immediately."
The segment eventually led Mr. Rowe to pitch the idea for "Dirty Jobs" to the Discovery Channel, which first broadcast it in 2005.
In his own words,
"Dirty Jobs is penance for all that I have done, from opera to home shopping, to a long list of questionable career choices. I'm having the most success I've ever had right now. The only catch, is I have to crawl through a river of (muck) to do it."
The Opera
QVC
Published September 5, 2006
So, your online bio says you used to be an opera singer?
"I joined the opera to get my union card and meet girls. I was a saloon singer, so I went down to the Baltimore Opera and learned an aria and auditioned. I figured I'd do one show and quit. But the girls were everywhere and the truth is, the music was really decent."
And QVC? How did you end up there?
"I was fired three times by them, actually. I was in the opera at the time. I walked across the street with a buddy of mine (during a performance) - we're dressed as Vikings and we have a drink. The TV is turned to QVC. ... My buddy bets me $100 I can't get a call back. So ... I crashed the audition and got a job on the spot. I basically turned the whole thing into my own stupid David Letterman show - I made fun of the callers and made fun of the products."

Dirty Job of the Year
Think you got it bad?
In the future, I will be looking for unusual jobs. While reminding myself, my job isn't that bad!? That's another story.This story is taken from, WORST JOBS
You may think that your job is bad, but pity me for I am a Worm Taster. I'm sure you know what a Wine Taster does - he checks the quality of wines before it is bottled. You probably know that a Cheese Taster checks how good cheeses are before they are sent to the supermarket. But what about a Worm Taster? Well there are a number of Worm Breeders around the UK - they sell worms to the fishing tackle shops who then sell them to people who go fishing. Worms come in a number of breeds - some are more attractive to fish than others - breeders are always searching for the perfect worm - one that the fish can't resist. That's where I come in - I spend each and every day sniffing, feeling and, of course, eating raw worms in an effort to find those new breeds that the fish will like. It's a bit of a tasteless job - pardon the pun - but being confined to a wheelchair it's the only one I can get near to where I live. On top of that the pay is minimum wages. The only perk I get is an abundance of free worms so my family eat worm pie twice a week. Of course they don't know what they are eating - I tell them that it's mince pie. Sent in by Havana Grub.
Need I say more?
Johnson & Johnson?
Maybe something he might consider
When you have an 'I Hate My Job' day, try this:On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the
thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson &
Johnson
Be very sure you get this brand. When you get home, lock your doors, draw
the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed.
Change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair.
Open the package and remove the thermometer. Now, carefully place it on a
table or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken.
Now the fun part begins. Take out the literature from the box and read it
carefully You will notice that in small print there is a statement:
'Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson is personally tested
and then sanitized'.
Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times,'I am so glad I do
not work in the thermometer quality control department at Johnson &
Johnson.'
HAVE A NICE DAY AND REMEMBER, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE WITH A JOB
THAT IS MORE OF A PAIN IN THE BUTT THAN YOURS!
