Weekend Discussion Thread: How to Do Jobs in MSTed Movies

“Leo Artunian” opines:

I saw a new book recently that provides job manuals for jobs without manuals, such as “How to be a wrestler in Mexico City”[!]. “How to be a musician without an instrument in Mozambique,” and so on. How about asking for “job manuals” (or perhaps a list of five instructions) for doing various jobs that appear in MST3K films?

For example, “How to be Batwoman in a Wild World”:
1. Wear a black leotard and a feathery mask that looks nothing like a bat.
2. Surround yourself with go-go girls who will swear unswerving allegiance to you.
3. Play the organ.
4. Show no emotion no matter how dire the situation.
5. Do nothing that in any way resembles actual crime fighting.

Or, alternatively, job applications for jobs that appear in MST3K films, consisting of qualifications and an answer to the classic question asking for your greatest weakness at work.
For example, a job application from Torgo:
Skills:
Carrying luggage.
Watching the place while the master is away.
Creeping out suburban housewives.
Unswerving devotion to mystic authority figures.
Greatest weakness: Tend to overdo the Thigh Master.

What do you think?
