You know what this makes me think of? How when you go to Disney land/world you see folks dressed in dashing, vaguely aviation styled, toolbelted jumpsuits. Turns out they have one job, only: to scrape gum off things (sidewalk, under tables, etc). What kind of cool outfit would SF's cigarette corps wear?

For a mere $100,000 a year plus whatever medical and dental benefits our mayor enjoys I will spend eight hours a day sweeping up cigarette butts in a custom-made Armani tuxedo.
I'm pretty spry and nimble and can cover a lot of ground in eight hours and will thus save my native and beloved SF $10,900.000 a year. This money could possibly be used to place ashcans all around the city making my job a bit easier and the streets a bit tidier.
