Ok, it's official, I have now heard about the strangest job evah. And, trust me, I've heard about some strange jobs (although I'd love to hear about more if you've got them!)

In one of the crafting communities I'm in, a girl was talking about a gift she made for a friend of hers, whose job is...shaving the genitals of butterflies. Shaving. Butterfly. Genitals. And then sexing them. Presumably in the "are you a boy or a girl" way, but given how the job description started off, it's really hard to be sure.

Them must be some happy butterflies getting all shaved and sexed up!

Hm, I can't decide to respond with "Them butterflies shore do clean up good!", or "Well, you know what they say about them butterflies - you can dress 'em up, but you can't take 'em out..."

Wow. I hope there aren't any, ah, accidents.

I now know what my future career must be: Making pubic wigs for butterflies.

Somehow I am unfazed by this idea. I think it's because my friend was sexing flies all last semester for class. ._.;;

See, the sexing part I'm OK with. It's the fact that they have to be shaved first that's blowing my mind.
