NewPrecision Guided Humor Assignment - Jobs for France
As the US and the Coalition of the Willing struggle to teach 20+ million Iraqis how to live in a free society, France is doing everything it can to help us out...
Wait... sorry... that should read France is doing NOTHING to help us out.
But recently they made the oh-so-generous offer to help train the Iraqi police force. They still won't send money or troops, but if there's a relatively safe job that doesn't require a whole lot of actual physical labor on their part, then they're right at the front of the line.
Look, Froggy, we hate to disappoint, but we're handing out the IMPORTANT jobs to people we can count on. However, since we know how important it is to have our good allies working along side us, perhaps there are a few tasks that you might be able to take on.
Shovel man at the camel stables springs readily to mind, but I'm sure there are other things...
Your Precision Guided Humor Humor Assignment this week is to answer the question:
What jobs should we let France do in Iraq?
Post your answers at your own blog and leave a permalink in the comments, send a trackback, or e-mail the permalink to me at harvolson@charter.net. Answers due by 8pm CST Wednesday, January 28th (LOOK! 2 EXTRA HOURS for you after-work bloggers). Late entries must be accompanied by a lame excuse.

Your website makes me feel thoroughly sad and angry.

Sally - may I humbly suggest Prozac, whiskey, and the back button, not necessarily in that order?
Life is REALLY too short to spend being sad and angry. Go to Google and type in words that make you feel all smiley inside. Click on the links to some of the results. It will make you feel MUCH happier, and, in the process, raise the average happiness quotient of the entire planet just a tiny, tiny bit, so that afterwards, you'll be able to honestly say that you made the world a better place, just like in a hippy folk song.
