One of the things that has always amazed me about hashes around the world is the wide variety of occupations that hashers have. While mere mortals might view hashers as truly sophomoric, most hashers actually have incredibly respectable jobs. Over the years, we’ve met lawyers and police officers (which both come in handy when the hash runs into trouble), doctors, computer nerds, biotech researchers, accountants, an opera singer, artists, real estate brokers, a rocket scientist and professors. Debbie, above, works at that insurance company with a gecko as a mascot. Other hashers work at such diverse places as IBM, Duke University, the US Navy, the Dutch Special Forces, and the International Criminal Court. There’s no contest, however, when it comes to the most surprising occupation we’ve encountered at any hash. Above you’ll see Captain Zero, who we’ve known for years. He’s ex-military intelligence and a retired mortgage broker, but now spends his time starring in porn films as Dave Cummings. At 67, he claims to be the oldest porn star in the biz. He was quick to point out that Debbie and I were too old to be in one of his films, although, I assure you, we hadn’t volunteered; at least he didn’t object to being photographed with us. Guess there’s life after retirement after all.

He Gets Paid for THAT???
