JOBS YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO

[Guess]

The next time anybody brings up the subject of overpaid footballers you should consider the occupation in the newspaper cutting below.

At least there is a supply and demand in football. In the legal profession there is little demand and a vast supply. Almost anybody who can read and write could do this job. And then there is those little extra benefits.

The article made me laugh but reminded me why I pulled out of the UK tax system. I believe these funny hand shake old school tossers can do what they like. I am not funding it though.

In the sport of baseball in the variation known as the American League they also allow what is known as the DH.

The DH is allowed to hang-on past their prime and have a their rips at the plate as well.

Prolong your career, and remain a valued member of the team by becoming a DH

Being a DH is an honor.

What's that then?
A dead head?
Honestly, I don't know. Monty Panesar (that turbo charged person with a turban) who could turn the ball yesterday and skittle the West Indies out?
I think you're talking about baseball aren't you? Give me some overspin and compare that to a person who throws the ball down at a batsman.
You've got to be kidding. Number one, whilst the baseball moves in the air according to the "seam", so does a cricket ball. The big difference is that the cricket ball also moves off the ground.
So, a pitcher can do his stuff very well at 90 odd miles an hour. So can a bowler, but the latter throws it into the ground as well. Twice the movement at 90 odd mph.
Baseball is boring.

Kevin Costner is a tosser.

Hey now the post is about great jobs.

Designated hitter is one of them.

You show up, step up to the plate when your up and swing away hopefully to get the job the done. (regardless your still under contract) No fielding required, yet you collect a fat paycheck.

Hmm, turbocharged turbans?, as in forced induction?

Kevin Costner is a tosser.

Quite. I've never seen him in a decent film.
Or one that finished in the usual 1.5 hours. Unfortunately, we've got to put up with his baseball, his water, his rendition of the cold war, his view of Indians etc etc.
He makes us suffer for hours!!!

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that one.
You don't understand cricket. Than again, maybe I don't as well over 5 days with the ball swinging as well as it did.
I think Monty is a Sikh. His family came from the Punjab. And he wears a turban, sometimes.
He still sends it down the wicket at 60mph and spins the ball. Can a baseball player do that? I doubt it.

Great jobs?
Living here and no job to worry about.

How about WORST job you've ever done. From Peter Cooke and Dudley More - picking barnacles out of Jane Mansfield's bum!
