Most of us end up doing something for a living that we didn't plan for as kids. But there are jobs out there that are rare, odd, and probably difficult to get into unless you just happen to fall into them. Can you imagine majoring in French literature and then getting a job as a professional bridesmaid?
Most people believe that in order to be a bridesmaid, you must be close friends with a bride. This is not the case. There is a company called Bridesmaids For Hire, where the bride-to-be can hire a woman to be her bridesmaid. Some women don’t have many women friends, which can make the wedding party uneven. Some women don’t have responsible friends. The bride needs a bridesmaid who is willing to do the work on the big day. She needs someone there to handle problems when they arise and to make her day easier. If a bride doesn’t have any friends who can handle the job, she can hire a bridesmaid. Bridesmaids For Hire offers a variety of packages, and the cost ranges from $300 to $2,000, depending on the package that you choose.
Yes, it's a real job, but it might not be a full-time position. Read about more Amazing Jobs You Had No Idea Were Real at Uncoached.

have a look at some of the other improv everywhere stuff, they make it their mission to cheer people up and add a little extra enjoyment to their lives.
they once came all the way to my town in the UK for a stunt. and i didn't find out until later, and apparently barely anyone turned up to help, compared the the hundreds that have joined in in the past over in the US.
However, I do have to condone anything that makes so many people smile.
Case in point: my husband and Zach were in DC during "Capitol Pride" weekend. They were waiting for a metro train, and when it stopped, Zach started high-fiving people as they came off the train, and others as they got on. Soon it became a party, with a large group of lesbians cheering everyone who got a high five.
My husband said it was very cool. :-)
It's not like the "germs" bore through your skin and release their toxins into your blood stream! :D
I set up this facebook group last year and we have almost 400 members! It's spreading the word of Escalator High Fiving! It's the future!

or just search Escalator High Fiving in groups.
Please have a look if you're that way inclined!

As far as people having less germs on their butts or genitalia, I imagine neither alternative would have gone over quite as well as just using his hands.
