New MOS: Video Gamer?

Scott Adams (he of Dilbert fame) posted (”The Best and Worst Jobs”) about the coolness of being in today’s military. You can literally be a video gamer and blow stuff up. Then there’s the al-Qaida ops running from mud hut to mud hut….

I love this comment in Adams’ post:

i wonder if bin laden sends out @all to the entire al quaeda network everytime we kill #3? kind of like a big company. "praise allah, i'd like to announce that ali has left the organization for personal reasons. effective immediately, ahmed will assume all the duties of the #3 al quaeda leader. please give him a warm welcome to his new position, and give him your full support as we struggle to incite a global war. also, our united way campaign is about to kick off, and as usual, our #3 leader will be in charge of it."

and of course, *this* is what makes the #3 al quaeda job the worst job on earth - he has to run the united way campaign. being killed by a drone-fired missile is something they hope for!

:D
