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 1 year 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".

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.

How to apply for this job?

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 5 points 1 year 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.

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.
