Child LabourThere is a special part of Hell I'd like to reserve for those arses that order every single Sunday paper. Do you know how heavy that makes the bundle of papers some poor kid (ie me) has to lug around? Funny how your papers always seemed to get mangled in your letterbox...
I loved my paper round, but, looking back, I was getting paid peanuts to ruin my back and cycle around in the cold and dark. How were you exploited as a child?

SynagogueAbout 11 or 12, living in montreal, my sister´s boyfriend told me and 2 mates that cleaning the synagogue down the street paid really good money. Little did we know that some parts of the place hadn´t been cleaned in decades (i shit you not).
Cue the big metal garbage dump which he had to empty and clean...cue a 4 inch thick layer of maggets, worms and a smell that INSTANTLY made the three of us vomit. "big money" we all said, cleared the magget infested, now vomit coated mess for about an hour.
a week later, pay day... $30 can. for the three of us. Needless to say we were not very convinced about joining the faith. But oh the sweet revenge, in the form of stuffed roadkill in the heating ducts.
