Worst Middle Earth Occupations
 
While doing rather meaningless tasks at my job, I began to wonder what the worst occupations in Middle Earth would look like. Here is what I have come up with so far:

1. Dentist to the Mouth of Sauron.
2. Shire Nutritionist.
3. Harbinger of bad news to Morgoth.
4. Feanor’s anger management coach.
5. Orkin man in the realm of Mordor.
6. Polisher of Grond.

Please add on if you wish....

Well if we can stretch Middle Earth to include Numenor then I should think that being Aldarion and Erendis' marriage guidance counsellor would have been a bit of a challenge...

Hakon 06-12-2009 02:45 PM

Okay this is just a bit stereotypical but I couldn't resist.

Aragorn's mother in law. I mean like if he were not with Arwen. I could picture her nagging him.

Erendis 06-12-2009 02:51 PM

Just imagine her:
''Were the Mordor(hell)have you been?Alas my daughter that didn't listen to my advice and got married to you!She does this all alone to give you spare time and YOU ARE NOT KING YET!'':D:D:D

Hakon 06-12-2009 02:54 PM

"Look at that throne there. It has dirt on it. If you are going to be a King you need a clean throne. Why does your sword have blood on it? Are you abusing my daughter?"

If Sauron had a mother in law that would just be really funny.

Erendis 06-12-2009 02:57 PM

"Why do you wear maskarah,Cursed(dear)?Shouldn't you fire these wights and hire at last a proper buttler?And that jerk to stay away my grandchildren until he washes his teeth!''
