Out of work? Like dressing up in black and hanging out in a crowd? Tired of being politically correct; of being forced to make a show of tolerance toward uppity minorities, other people’s spoiled brats, and the asshole who lives next door? Your Government is here to bail you out.
Good pay. Free Uniforms. State of the art equipment. And best of all, you don’t have to be a people person with computer skills and a college degree.
Communication skills? Not a problem. Computer savvy? If you can pull a trigger; swing a bat; operate a spray can; pull a pin and quickly throw small objects into a crowd; place kick a football; operate the plastic tie of a yard and garden Hefty bag; stay focused on assigned tasks in the presence of people yelling things like “please stop,” “no,” “you’re hurting me,” “f@ck you mother f@cker,” and “I’m not with them g@dd@mmit”; and if you can stand the sight of other people’s blood without puking or fainting. . . then you’ve got what we need, and your country needs you. For more information, call, write or visit your closest FEMA office today. At FEMA, job one is ensuring continuity of Government.
OK you’ve got your article written, you have a new book MS ready to go out. You have a new song you want to get published. Now what?
