* RuleOfThree: Prior to applying to Conglom-O, Rocko applied to three different jobs, all of which were met with dead ends. First, he was a tattoo artist, which he quit after getting swallowed by Mr. Horny. Then, he was a plumber's assistant, which he quit after getting tired of holding a plumber's pants up. Finally, he was a specialty phone operator, which he quit when he found out that Mrs. Bighead was one of his customers.
