There’s no end to the list of jobs the fellas will make up in order to get your attention. We've heard Kitten Wrangler, Zebra Painter and Shark
Dentist, to name a few, and each one sounds dumber than the last. Every now and then, though, one is mentioned that makes you say, “Wait, is that real?”
One such example is "Penguin Erector." That can’t be real…but can it? It sounds a little raunchy, but this alleged job is actually very wholesome.
When one woman was told the old Penguin Erector tale, she took to Twitter
to tell others about this job that consists of
righting tipped penguins.
People were immediately taken by this profession. Could it
really be true? What an adorable job!
Some were not buying it though….
Thankfully, the Edinburgh Zoo chimed in to set the record
straight. Penguin Erectors are NOT a thing.
But they understood how the rumor started, as it was based
on an urban legend that penguins fall over while plane-spotting the sky above.
Disappointment was all around.
Apparently, it’s a popular myth dating back to at least 2010
on Twitter. But Dolphin Waxer, Polishers and Shavers seem pretty classic lies
too.
But the job below might be a thing? I mean,
those things do get holes.
Our hats go off to all the boys in pubs claiming to be Penguin
Erectors –- we believed it because we wanted it to be true. Now as for "Earthworm Farming," that's a thing, right?
Right?
