Derrickman.........he's the one at the top of the rig slinging pipe into the elevators. Got no place to go should the damn thing blow.
Stevedore.........in the hold of a ship unloading and stacking 75 lb. sacks of flour. Tee shirt turns to solid sweat-and-flour glue. Package store clerk........gets the occasional wrong end view of a .357.

Who invented oil fields, wells and drilling for oil? Who took the technology around the world and trained the locals? John Wayne, that's who.
