Job listing

A friend of mine, knowing I'm in the midst of a job search, sent me this listing from Craigslist. I particularly like the part about how you need "a strong stomach." Even without that qualification (which I don't have) I live too far away to take the job. Shucks!

But, wow, kudos to those who do this. It looks like a tough, tough job that's probably far too necessary.
