An ad posted online said that Barclays Center was looking to hire an assistant manager of arena operations to help with "planning and implementation of associated work tasks." What that really means is that the pro hockey New York Islanders need a Zamboni driver. According to the New York Times, "Cleaning the ice at an arena is much more difficult than it looks. A Zamboni is not a golf cart. The team is not looking for just anyone." The ad says the job requires five years behind the wheel of an ice resurfacer, three years working in a hockey arena, and a college degree. The posting says that candidates must be able to walk, sit and "use hands to finger, handle or feel objects." They must also be able to "balance; stoop, kneel, crouch or crawl; talk or hear; taste or smell." (That's right — talk or hear. Taste or smell. No need for both, apparently.) The ad also mandates "close vision." So if you're "detail-oriented," can "lift and/or move up to 75 pounds" and have a "passion for creating an exceptional experience" for fans, your dream job may be waiting in Brooklyn.

Possible Preaching Angle:

Sure, a Zamboni driver is a unique job, but then again God is also looking for all kinds of people to fill all kinds of unusual jobs.
