This occupation of "Wick Dipper" reminds me of the recruiting sergeant for the Scottish Infantry.
1st recruit enters. Sergeant asks "Name?" Recruit answers "McCoy Sir". Sergeant asks "Occupation?" Recruit "Coke Soaker, Sir" Sergeant ---"What???? " Coke Soaker with the gas company, Sir -- have to keep the coke damp to control the dust."
2nd. recruit enters. Same process. "Name?" McCoy, Sir". "Occupation?" "Cork Soaker, Sir". "What???" Cork Soaker with the bottle company, Sir -- have to keep them damp so they hold tight in the bottle necks."
3rd. recruit enters. "Name?" McCoy, Sir". "Occupation?" Cock Sucker, Sir." "I beg your pardon???" "I'm the real McCoy, Sir!"
