My favourite occupation

I have just entered details of my 1st cousin 3x removed. On the 1901 census he give an occupation of "Tennis bat bender", which I think has to be my favourite occupation among those I've found so far! :grin:

Does anyone else have a favourite, unusual occupation that made you smile when you found it?
