Who says there aren't jobs out there!

You just have to be willing to move to Saudi Arabia...

... and chop off people's heads...

Quote:
Saudi Arabia needs more executioners


...Saudi authorities have faced the shortage of executioners and consider an opportunity to replace traditional methods of execution with execution by shooting....

...

Three men of this group were sentenced to death by shooting, according to Saudi newspaper Okaz. This "new" form of Sharia punishment may soon displace beheading, crucifixion, quartering, stoning or burying a person alive. The authorities recognized that traditional executions were quite expensive "events" as they are performed in public and require high security costs. In addition, there is a serious shortage of skilled butchers.
Quote:
One of them - the "leading" Saudi executioner Muhammad Saad Beshi, said in an interview with the Saudi newspaper Arab News in 2003, that he was decapitating more than ten people a day. He always keeps his sword sharp and even lets his children clean it. "It surprises people how quickly I can separate the head from the body," the newspaper quoted Beshi.

(I know it's Pravda but damn. I did some checking and Muhammad Saad Beshi did give such an interview...)

Kind of a strange gig, but some folks really want to get a head in life.

There are no jobs because greedy people like me have four, leaving none for lazy folks who would do a bad job of it anyway.
