That was so good I stopped about 5 minutes in to go make myself a sandwich so I could really enjoy the whole thing… Not that you need a sandwich to enjoy it… I watched it at lunch time… So I was multitasking… But you should watch it (with a sandwich if you want).
Don’t believe I’d enjoy it with spaghetti and meat balls.
Thumbs up.
What a great video, thanks for sharing, Abraham!
I’ve never watched Dirty Jobs, but his eloquence and thoughtfulness made me want to do so. As the daughter of a working-class farmer/lumberyard foreman, I really appreciate this.

Caught me by surprise, too.
Reblogged this with a plea to my readers that if 20 minutes is too much for them, to at least watch the bit starting around 15:20.
I thought the beginning was much better than the rest, but maybe that’s just me…
I love this.
I keep saying that I value the manual trades, but I can’t make myself drop out of grad school to partake. I wish I would.
Because manual labor sucks. :)
