No, thank you.
Posted November 11, 2007
Things that I would not like to do:
Be a punt returner.
Stay in an ice hotel.
Spend time with anyone who has ever been a host of The View. (Exception: Lisa Ling, who left voluntarily to host National Geographic Explorer, which sounds like a pretty awesome job to me.)
Ever wait tables again.
Wear panty hose on any kind of regular basis. Or at all if I can help it.
Watch boxing.
Participate in boxing.
Participate in ice fishing.
Get any more piercings.
Reduce my intake of chocolate, cheese, or bread.
Spelunking.
Work in a salon. I don't deal well with hair that is not attached to a head. Even my own when cleaning my bathroom. Ick.
Eat bratwurst.
Write science fiction.
Go to a Celine Dion concert.
Do one of those polar bear swim things. Those people are messed up.
Quit caffeine.
Appear on a reality show.
Square dance.
Have a pet bird.
Go on Jeopardy! only to be in the hole after Double Jeopardy! and have to miss Final Jeopardy! (This is my prediction of what would happen, by the way. I guess a lot and am frequently wrong.)
Undertake any sort of hard core camping experience.
Get any more papercuts on my hands than I already have. Which is six.
This is by no means an exhaustive list. Just what has occurred to me in the time since I watched a football player return a punt and thought "I would NEVER want that job."
Enlighten us, Internet. What wouldn't you want to do? Or ever do again?

1. Look at or be near weird-looking bugs.
2. Eat the foot of a pig. There's only one foot I'll put in my mouth and it's my own.
3. Get lost in the woods. I know how that movie ends.
4. Be a party in any way to performing dental work on someone.
5. Wear a thong bathing suit in public.
6. Run for political office. Something about integrity and honesty.
7. Plan another wedding. Though the first one was fun in the end, it was enough, so cross your fingers for us! We at least have to last until after I finish sending thank you notes out.

I would never work in a gym.
I'm sure there are more but that is the first thing that came to my mind.

Paddle (the rear of a canoe) around Utah in the late summer heat with an ammo can full of poop in your canoe with you.
And clean up after a college keg party.

Right now my list includes anything related to the words packing, boxes, suitcase, hostel, or hotel. Surprisingly, I do not yet hate airplanes.

I think Jenny might get offended by the square dancing one. She is still convinced it is the world's best dance.
I will not: play with a spider, eat liver, hit garebear in the stomach with play-do (again), cut my hair in a bowl haircut (again), make fun of Lori for not being athletic...ever!

Have a job that involves lots of math.
Eat tomatoes.
Eat a lot of other things.
Give someone a pedicure. (Getting one is a different story.)
Smell feet.
Look at feet.
Touch feet or have them touch me.
Are you sensing a theme here? I just don't like feet. I don't mind hair though - even when I have to clean it out of the drain it doesn't bother me THAT much.
Beetles. Anything and everything to do with beetles.

Because I was/am desperate, I did a post around this.
It is over yonder:
