Question Strange job titles

Have you ever been called a wierd name for your job description? I worked under ground as a kid and was called a "Nipper" cause I had to Nip all the supplies for my level, moved to surface and became a Runner than a Straight Foreman, that name fits cause I'm not gay. A buddy drives trains and is a Hogger, I guess cause he Hogs trains?

I was a "Deiner", it's a guy who assists the pathologist performing autopsies. I got to sew everything up after it was over...

Diesel Fitter

Sven & Ole worked together and both were laid off,so they went to the unemployment office.
Asked his occupation, Ole said, "Panty Stitcher. I sew the elastic onto ladies cotton panties." The clerk looked up panty stitcher and found it classified as unskilled labor, so she gave him $300 a week employment pay.
Sven was asked his occupation."Diesel fitter" he replied. Since diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Sven $600 a week.
When Ole found out he was furious. He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and coworker was collecting double his pay. The clerk explained, "Panty stichers are unskilled and diesel fitters are skilled labor."
"What skill?" yelled Ole. "I sew the elastic on the panties, Sven puts them over his head and says, yah, diesel fitter."

Back in the stone ages before computers part of my job was in graphic arts production. We made half-tones and PMTs of line art. Part of the job required us to piece together a layout of text and halftone for the printing press. Since we stripped the pieces together we were called strippers. One the graphic companies in town had 20 men working in a room doing just that. It was called the stripper room. So I guess I can say I was a stripper for a while.
