Interesting Occupation

If that’s what the transcriber saw, then there’s nothing wrong with it? - or so I’m told!

It's still funny though

Hi Ray -- I know BumbleB had actually posted a misinterpretation of an occupation with 'Tennis Rocket' - but as Treetotal said - I just thought that a 'Nuisance Inspector' - would also give people a smile.

It made me laugh when I saw it - and, oh boy, laughs seem to be in short supply at the moment in the world.

I just found this one earlier;

Quarrel Picker - 17-18c.

A glazier.
A small Piece of Glass
A pun on Quarrel

taken from a book that I have called Occupations - A Preliminary List, by Joyce Culling.

Interesting and we can all learn something new every day. 

Just remembered another old occupation which is interesting

Saggar makers bottom knocker

As you say BumbleB - every day is a school day!!

I think Quarrel Picker is hilarious - I know one or two and they don't have anything to do with glass.

The Nuisance Inspector's actual job is not what I imagined - who the heck would want a job like that!

I did know about the Sagger Maker's Bottom Knocker -- also very funny.

Stabularius - Ostler, Stable Man.
Armentarius - Herdsmen.
Spell check didn't like that one

Is that the Latin version?
