Wipe Out
';This could just about be the world’s worst job (via Bloghead).
Terror suspect Abu Hamza has been given new hooks on the NHS - and a £30,000-a-year nurse to wipe his backside in jail.
The Muslim extremist, who has no hands, was fitted with special £5,000 replacement hooks because it was feared his original metal ones could be used as weapons.
He is unable to clean himself as he could do himself an injury. So prison officials have hired a male nurse named Harry to perform the task.
A prison source said: “He’s known as ‘Dirty Harry’. This guy has got one of the worst jobs in the world. His main reason for being there is to clean Hamza’s backside. Everyone’s having a laugh about it. But Hamza can’t be left unclean. It would be a health hazard.”
I would like to think that prison officials could have either insisted that Abu Hamya wipe his own behind, or hire Freddy Krueger to do it.
Update: I would like your feedback on other really bad jobs. I’ll get the ball rolling:

Hanan Ashrawi needs a beautician. It looks like she gets her hair cut by a Palestinian Authority approved barber whose job is to make her look as masculine and unattractive as possible.
