JUDI!!
*snork*

Sounds like a job for Walter!
I may have met an employee of this company the other day. I had someone turn in an application listing their previous position as "meat paker." No, that is not a typo on my part.

Evidently boners are hard to come by in that area.
Posted by: "John Galt" | May 21, 2008 at 02:45 PM
"The earning opportunity can be from 24k to 41k!"
To get the 41k, does the boner have to work overtime?
Posted by: Danny | May 21, 2008 at 02:49 PM
Again with the sexual innuendos....
Posted by: Judith Martin | May 21, 2008 at 02:51 PM
JG, who are you?
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | May 21, 2008 at 02:51 PM
Living not too far from Hatfield, a boner will pop up from time to time in the neighborhood. They always rise to the occasion when people need them. I've been in the HQM board room, and there is some nice wood there.

This could come in handy . . .
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | May 21, 2008 at 02:56 PM
I'm wondering if there's stiff competition for this job.
Posted by: Siouxie | May 21, 2008 at 02:56 PM
This is a job for The Joker!
Posted by: Mr Death | May 21, 2008 at 02:59 PM
The listing doesn't say anything about the hours. What time do you have to get up?
Posted by: Danny | May 21, 2008 at 02:59 PM
If you can do more than a four-hour shift, please contact your doctor . . .
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | May 21, 2008 at 03:00 PM
Did they fire the last guy because he was just hanging around?
Posted by: Danny | May 21, 2008 at 03:02 PM
Sounds like hard work.
Posted by: Siouxie | May 21, 2008 at 03:06 PM
Danny, maybe he was a slacker and just wanted to get in and out quickly.
Posted by: Siouxie | May 21, 2008 at 03:07 PM
Maybe he just got too old and moved into the Retired Boners Home.
Posted by: Danny | May 21, 2008 at 03:09 PM
Or..maybe the job was too much of a load for him.
Posted by: Siouxie | May 21, 2008 at 03:11 PM
I never fail to be amazed by how shy and demure the blogettes are.
Posted by: pogo | May 21, 2008 at 03:13 PM
Thank you kind sir (she says shyly and demurely)
(judi started it!)
Posted by: Siouxie | May 21, 2008 at 03:15 PM
instead of coffee breaks, they have refractory periods...
Posted by: insomniac | May 21, 2008 at 03:18 PM
Is there a height requirement? Not that I think that would be a problem or anything.
Posted by: Danny | May 21, 2008 at 03:24 PM
*snork* @ insom ^ up there....
Posted by: Diva | May 21, 2008 at 03:26 PM
I wouldn't think girth would be either, Danny. In fact, I'm sure it's encouraged.
Posted by: Siouxie | May 21, 2008 at 03:27 PM
Judith Martin: Has it occurred to you that this blog might not be the right spot for you? Because if you can't appreciate a good
bonerplay on words, I think you're in the wrong place.At least that's what Siouxie said.
Posted by: Eleanor | May 21, 2008 at 03:44 PM
Sigh. I just don't have what it takes.
I did run across this listing yesterday, though. Sounds like a fun place to work, except for the no b*tching part.
Posted by: Cat R | May 21, 2008 at 03:51 PM
But how could you tell if it's an inexperienced boner?
Posted by: Margaritaville | May 21, 2008 at 03:53 PM
Bones too quickly?
Posted by: Siouxie | May 21, 2008 at 04:02 PM
Are they an equal opportunity employer? Can BOB apply?
Posted by: BillyJoeJimBob | May 21, 2008 at 04:05 PM
The last guy was discharged for spouting off.
Posted by: CJrun | May 21, 2008 at 04:09 PM
Here's an nice holiday decoration . . .
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | May 21, 2008 at 04:10 PM
BJJB, BOB wouldn't work out. He's constantly running out of energy.
Posted by: Siouxie | May 21, 2008 at 04:19 PM
Siouxie, remember that union rules demand that BOB gets a 15 minute break every 4 hours.
Posted by: BillyJoeJimBob | May 21, 2008 at 04:25 PM
They turned me down for the position. Apparantly I was over-qualified.
Posted by: MartiniShark | May 21, 2008 at 05:45 PM
*Checking slide rule*...converting metric to U.S....What's "21K to 41K" in inches?
Posted by: Allen at Division | May 21, 2008 at 06:33 PM
Not enough. Dollars or inches.
Posted by: Siouxie | May 21, 2008 at 07:02 PM
"De Bone! De Bone!"
Posted by: Tattoo | May 21, 2008 at 07:58 PM
Siouxie!! 21 Kilomillicentimeters is as big as I go... *smirk*
Posted by: Allen at Division | May 21, 2008 at 08:31 PM
Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a butcher!

As a teenager in the '70s, I had to get a job permit to work in a factory stripping forms away from the concrete table tops the company manufactured--thus the official job title/description was "stripper." My father and I had to do some fast explaining to actually get the job permit. I don't think I would even attempt getting a job as a boner.

MS, I played some rugby in college, and being that I'm NOT athletic, OR fast, OR big, OR anything else that normally makes a guy a rugby player, the team put me in the position called the "hooker," which, if you've ever seen the game, is the guy in the middle of that mass of humanity that develops throughout the game. (He tries to "hook" the ball with his foot, so his teammates can field it, hence the term.)
Needless to say, (but will be said anyway...) when my collarbone got broken and my teammates took me into the hospital, and there was someone else in the ER (from the women's rugby team) who had broken her ankle, well, (needless to... OK, already done that "needless to say" business...) But when I came to find out she was a "stripper," (someone who comes in and tries to "strip" the ball away from the opponenent)... let's just say the ER staff had a great time admitting that they had introduced a "hooker" and a "stripper" without facing a lawsuit.

My wife had a college summer job which involved pulling the covers off unsold magazines. It was boring work, but when she filed her taxes she listed her occupation as "stripper."
