"I have to wonder exactly what they mean by "roustabout." There's two
jobs by that name. One is a laborer in an old time canvas circus, the
other is a laborer in an oil field, someone who connects and services
producing oil wells. I've been latter, and it sucks. I'm willing to
believe both versions suck.

Being a roustabout does have one great psychological advantage over
office work. Out in the oil field, when things reach the point where you
believe that a piece of equipment or a coworker needs to be belabored
with a 2 by 4, other people understand that."

In Australia a roustabout is a labourer (laborer) who works on a sheep
or cattle station (farm/ranch). Many of them would be pretty handy with
a 2 by 4. ;)
