If we are counting all dream-sequences and looks to the future, Bart worked in the school cafeteria. ---

Oooh…Ooooh… I actually get to use soem of my useless Simpsons trivia! IIRC, Homer was also a Monorail… uhhh… pilot? driver? conductor? One of those should work, I think. It was in the episode with Leonard Nimoy. [Homer] Doughnuts, is there anything they can’t do? [/Homer] Homer was also a Clown (a Krusty replica to be precise), in the episode where he goes to clown college. One of my favorite lines came from that episode. It’s where the KrustyBurgler tries to take one of the fake hamburgers and Homer jumps him and beats the tar out of him. When the little kid starts crying “Stop, stop, he’s already dead”, I just lose it. I crack up every time I hear that, whether it’s on TV or in my head (get some funny looks when that happens, let me tell you…) ---

Homer was also a bodyguard too. To Mayor Quimby. And Mark Hammil ---

Homer was Lurleen Lumpkin’s personal manager, a sculptor and also a missionary. Marge was a substitute teacher, a portraitist and an amateur actress. The whole family worked the tomacco farm. ---

> [@](#): > > “Bang Bang” Bart, he was a stripper, when … lisa became president. Bart was “Bang Bang” in a what-if scenario. If he was allowed to see the Itchy and Scratchy movie, he’d become a stripper. If he was punished and not allowed to see it, he’d become Chief Justice. At the end of the episode, we flash forward a few decades. He and Homer attend a revival of the I&S movie. Bart pays, buying one senior and one Chief Justice ticket. So stripper doesn’t count. > [@](#): > > I thought he was a musician (along with Ralph Wiggum) in Nelson’s nightclub in that episode. He was. So since President Lisa counts, musician Bart does too. The episode was a mystical vision. I count mystical visions but not what-if scenarios. It’s my game, so it’s my rules (insert vapid smiley here). > [@](#): > > Grandpa: … president of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance “for some reason” As a former GALA president, I can assure you that it doesn’t pay. Disqualified! > [@](#): > > bart also worked as milton’s understudy in atomic man or some such thing Milhouse played the role of Fallout Boy in the Radioactive Man movie. Bart didn’t understudy him; he was a sycophantic hanger-on. Unknown if he got paid for it. Homer was a racehorse owner and Bart was a jockey. Homer and Grandpa sold patent medicine. Homer’s mother was an urban guerilla and worked on an organic farm, where Homer also briefly worked. I mentioned recording artist for Homer earlier, but since he wrote the Be-Sharps’ hit “Baby on Board” he’s also a songwriter.
