Amazing list! I quite like the idea of being a "whim driver".

A whim driver... How would you define that job?

I'm most definitely a "butt woman" and a "cheeker".

A 19th century super heroin? Butt Man's partner?

Exactly: crushing villains with my formidable buttocks, while being cheeky. ;-)

I found the perfect partner for you: the cute Butt Detective. Only in Japan, as they say. He stops villains by farting in their face.

I have a lot of experience as a chivier when trying to get my wife and kids out of the door.

Didn't know that word. I had to look that up.

Now I understand your lone walks around Japan.

Gianni- Clapper carrier is an interesting one. I wonder what the job description actually means …

Good question. It's not listed in this census:

In movie making, there is the clapper loader whose primary role is to "load and unload film magazines, mark scenes with the clapperboard, assist the focus puller with measuring distances, and maintain camera reports." Definitely not the same job.

What about a crematorium technician, amigo? Or a stoker?
