- Can you think of a more worthless occupation than telephone sanitizer (other
- than shoe salesman, of course)? The B-ark was filled with all of the losers
- and absolutely worthless parts of the society; esp. the telephone sanitizers

- being an apprentice telephone sanitizer. Major accomplishment, eh?
