The Worst Jobs In History
AS Baldrick in hit British comedy series Blackadder, Tony Robinson did his fair share of disgusting jobs. But nothing could prepare the Time Team presenter for the truly horrible work he’d have to take on for his new book, stage show and Channel 4 series – The Worst Jobs In History. In an exclusive interview Tony told The Sun he was sick every single day while making the show and ill for months afterwards. He says he tested 50 of the foulest careers of the last 2000 years – many involving urine or excrement, and that was if he was lucky.
Check out Tony’s personal experiences while working on his seven worst jobs, including the terrifying moment where he really thought he was going to die.

If you think our advanced technologies finally gave us a break from doing these miserable jobs, check out this guy’s confession:
When you look forward to getting hit with flying hunks of ass chili, it’s probably time to start looking for a new job. As a sewage treatment plant worker, my job is as awful as you probably imagine. One day while scrapping dried granny gravy off the sides of a tank that was supposed to be empty, a seal broke and began spraying a mixture of colon cannonballs, bloody tampons, and used condoms. After years of working in and around raw sewage, you get used to the anal butter. It’s the airborne packets of baby batter and exploding lady sponges that really get to you.
