It must be all this 400th episode hoodly-hoo, but I'm getting a lot of Simpsons stuff forwarded to my inbox. Not that I'm complaining.
Following up on my recent post featuring a bunch of couch gags from the Simpsons comes this video list of every job Homer has held from season one through season seventeen. You can also see a list of his various occupations on this Wiki page.
The fact that Homer willing quits his job at the nuclear plant at the drop of a hat has been a running gag on the series for a long time, but it also makes me think about all the jobs I've held (and I sometimes feel I've had as many jobs as Homer) that I wasn't exactly qualified to do. Most of these jobs I held right out of college when I was desperate for any kind of work:
Adam: Of course I can operate a crane. I just read a PDF file on crane operation last night.
There's also the scene in "Papa's Got a Brand New Badge" when Homer rattles off a list of his past jobs. What always cracks me up is that he actually lists "homophobe" as an occupation.
Video is below. My thanks to Wild Bill yet again.
