Are you pretty adept with a sword? How’s your downward
swing? Are you squeamish? Can you speak Farsi?
If so, have I got a job for you. The Saudi monarchy is
looking for a few good men who know how to brandish a sword and want a position
as official decapitator of criminals. In Saudi Arabia, as you may know, they
use the sword a lot for punishment.
Rob someone and they cut off your hand. Things like that.
But the most proper Islamic method is beheading for the
serious crimes of murder, armed robbery, rape, trafficking in drugs … if it’s
bad, say hasta la vista to your head, it’s been nice knowing you.
So what’s the problem? They’re running out of qualified
swordsmen, which may force outlying provinces to resort to the second choice of
execution – the firing squad. Official beheadsmen can’t always make the
appointment time because they’re having to travel all through the regions, and
that takes a lot of time.
So … want a steady job with lots of travel in a foreign
land? Have I got a job for you!
I kid you not.
