    I like KingRat’s idea. More good jobs for Slim: mattress tester fast food Q.C. specialist food taster for Middle Eastern potentate(another risky occupation)

    Ya, it’s the plot of a classic French film, The Wages of Fear.

    @imrobert: Remade as Sorcerer in 1978 by William Friedkin with a killer soundtrack by Tangerine Dream (see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076740/). (In Europe, where I saw it, it ran uder the earlier title.) By the way, when you copy Wikipedia links to this site, you should be aware that the underscores (_) are formatting characters; links that have them don’t work. For the 1953 Le Salaire de la Peur, try going to (http://www.imdb.com/title./tt0046268/)
