She was a knocker upper

(Which is a real name for this job, not a joke)

Question is: Who woke her for her shift?

[–] Onii-Chan@kbin.social 40 points 11 months ago

It's pea shooters all the way down.

The Wokemen.

(but who woke the Wokemen?)

Edit: now that I think about it, they probably just used a "woke agenda".

I remember, yes that's the one.

As per this article:

"The knocker uppers were night owls and slept during the day instead, waking at about four in the afternoon," says author Richard Jones.

Well its obvious she just stays up all night. She doesn't need sleep. In fact sleep is deathly scared of her and has been for a while.

Freaking Alarm clock are stealing our jobs!

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How to apply for this job?

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 9 points 11 months ago

Just show up one day, start doing it, and demand money.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

I doubt workers could afford much, and it probably took a few, so they must be some cheap arse peas to use as ammo.

[–] gatelike@feddit.de 4 points 11 months ago

I like to think that she shot peas all the time while walking and sitting at home. Obviously she would never miss and is particularly good at ricochet combos.
