Agreed. Airplane 2 had William Shatner parodying William Shatner.

I couldn’t remember all the items. I think it also had ‘sitting in a chair build is Sweden’ and ‘drinking Irish beer’ and ‘wearing an Italian shirt.’

The book will still be useful. The job I was interested in had a six month evening training program. Once I got certified I was able to find a job pretty fast.

I went from hating working to being willing to get up on a rainy Monday. There are a lot of jobs that you’ve never heard of out there. I suggest this book to people all the time because it worked for me.

Two suggestions.

First, start applying for Civil Service jobs. If you’re in the US there are places that list all federal, state, and local job openings. It might take a while to get hired, but you’ll have a strong union and paid overtime.

Second, buy and use this book. "Discover What You Are Best At.’ Linda Gail. It’s a series of self tests you can finish in an afternoon, with a list of jobs that use those skills. I’d never considered the career path the book suggested for me; turns out it’s pretty nice to be able to have a job where you fit in.

Sounds like he means being a landlord or other business owner. He wants to be able to exploit other people so he can have leisure. It’s noty an unreasonable goal, since they are stuck in a system they can’t control.

I don’t know who said it first.

A true Englishman is someone who drives a German car to pick up an Indian curry, then uses a Korean built PC to send an email denouncing immigrants.

I’m waiting for a remake of ‘The Dirty Dozen’ where one actor named Chris plays all the roles.
