I once read that if every EOD tech was used just for cleanup around the world...there would be work for 300 years. I know the work has paid my bill since 1984.

I was 7 at the time and living in a little town called Arenzano, just outside of Genoa, Italy. The Herald Tribune was only available every few days back then, so my parents had me and my brother translate the Italian papers for all of the Americans living in that village at the time.
