Thats the usual response

Would take a while to explain, but in a nutshell its a type of geotechnical investigation. I live in hotels monday - friday (writing this from my hotel room), spend all week driving from one corner of the cuntry to another, pushing cones in the ground with 25 ton truck/crawler and i do the same thing offshore hanging off the edge of huge boats and drill platforms.

One of the crawlers on its truck

The last boat i worked on (the white one with legs)

If your really intrested/sad and want to know more checkout www.fes.co.uk

when people phone while I'm working, I can answer with "I'm Penetrating" and I get to buy condoms 50 at a time, much to the embarrassment of the till tart working the checkout at tesco/boots, and charge it to company expenses!

Less than a Vaginal Penetrator.

I'm thinking of a career change.

In fact I start a new job on Monday, so that might not go too well with the new employers...

When i meet one i'll ask him

but as far as i'm aware such a creature does not exist and never will. Only about 30 penetrators in this country and we're all a few sandwiches short of a picnic

. my basic salary is pants about 17k, but with all the overtime (and their is alot of it) I managed to clear 26k last year

At least you get paid for overtime though. Gives you the opportunity to earn more even if you do have to work your nuts off.
