I have a Master Farmer that hates bees. He used to run like his head was on fire when I dropped him by the hive - but that was because there wasn't any honey! Now he goes over all the time and "harvests" honey - its hilarious! Talk about conquering your fears!
My chief dislikes cooking - so lucky all she has to do is walk around and "contemplate" the village... ;D
Also, I have an "extra fertile" female chief - I was trying to get her to do the rain dance and she bumped into a guy and now is out of commission for over 2 hours! *aaarrrgghhh*
