Looking for a hand washer

I am struck by an obituary read yesterday in La Vanguardia: The death of PETER HOUSIN CRAUFURD (1930-2012), hand washer.

It may be a deduction from me, but judging by the fact, the position could be vacant, and nothing less than a hand washer for the Queen of England at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, in Scotland.

Although I have long argued that lifelong employment has disappeared, our friend Peter died at the 82 with boots on. And that's not all.: He had inherited his father's job., And now your eldest son will do it, Alex.

Another curious fact: Three people are needed for the ceremonial of doing a hand washing as mandated by the canons.

The news provokes me the following reflection: Having an absolutely skyrocketing unemployment rate, Why don't we create new jobs like Peter's?? Some examples:

Hand washer
Foot washer
shaver
Ear washer
Clothes lint cleaner (Special elevators)
Car bird droppings cleaner…

Not everything has to be online. In fact, Technology creates jobs but also destroys them; look at Google's driverless car… How many drivers will be out of work?.
