Julio Cesar Cu is a treasure hunter

“Julio Cesar Cu wanted to be an oceanographer but instead he swims through foul-smelling sewage in underground tunnels where the occasional dead body bobs beside excrement and car parts.”

Wow, I love when dreams are realized. I have a soft spot in my heart for people who persevere against all odds. He did not let the fact that he is poor, uneducated, and 200 miles away from an ocean stop his dream of underwater exploration. God gave this man lemons and he turned those lemons into a sea of fecal matter.

What particularly warms my heart is the passion and zest with which he loves his job; "I like diving as a sport. As a job I like it even more," he said. "I do a job that benefits a lot of people."

Yes Julio, you are helping many and for that we thank you! Thank you for being a compassionate human plunger.

Are we to believe he enjoys diving into bowel cookies and recylced michael jackson cadavers? I mean it takes some kind of special to prefer that over.... say......flipping burgers, digging ditches, anything else really. And why the hell is he telling people? if i won the lottery in hell for this job, I wouldn't say a damn thing!
