Governor of Alaska? I hear there's an opening. - Spidra Webster

NGO-paid Anti-government shoe thrower for the People's Liberation Front of Judea! - Moody (Sweet FA 4 Life)
In northern Europe, apparently they have "Elf Certifiers" that make sure no elves or fairies are on a piece of land before they built stuff. That has to be the best job ever (if you get it, make sure to every now and then say that some piece of land has some elves...just for the lulz) - Neal "thePuck" Jansons

Tina's not responding because she was putting on a load of laundry. As that is an entirely un-lulz producing activity, you do INDEED need to crank up the funny! Oh, and I'm digging that elf-finding job. Wonder if they offer a class for that... - FFing Enigma
