In my early teens I was 'Simon the Safety Bear', Calgary Police's mascot.

Pay was absolute garbage (like $6/hour), but I got to do some sweet events (skate with Flames, Stampede Parade).

That said, ~$30 paycheques was not worth the effort, sweating, and abuse. At least I was with an officer at all times, so the amount of shin kicking I recieved was mnimal.
