Scraping the Bottom

Mark:  I’ve done some grungy jobs in my time: Pick’n’shovel stuff, dishwashing, painting toys, proofreading newspaper copy, hoisting returned (i.e. from pubs) beer barrels onto the line that steam-cleans them inside (you have to position the bung hole over the steam nozzle … don’t know why that came to mind …),  but I must say, I’d have to be very seriously broke indeed before I signed on to wear an EneMan costume in public.
