the fun part of my job
It's not terribly often, but occassionally I'll come across something awesomely fascinating and/or hillarious in my line of work. The following email and resume was passed along to me by a coworker of mine. It made my day.
"Can you use this guy? Found him on Monster. He does have a disability though. He has a note explaining the disability at the bottom of the page. There is a link to his website too about the whole conspiracy against him. It is very in depth if you dig in. God, the Defense Department, Big Tobacco, McDonalds, the X Files are all in on it. It started back in 1947 before he was born."
I took out some of the personal info like tele #, address and email to protect his privacy - well, just a wee bit, although most of his stuff is broadcast all over the Internet, including a permission statement to disclose or replublish his theories; not, of course, without the risk of "retaliatory mind control" but I suppose I'm willing to take that risk.
"You have my permission to pass on this email to anyone who would be interested, although mind control retaliation is possible for large disclosures."

[1] “Mind control” means God (a life form of extraterrestrial origin, not the creator), the federal government (specifically, the Department of Defense), and other entities (mostly Big Tobacco companies) are controlling my mind. The mind control tells me (telepathically) what I can not do what I must do and enforces it by controlling me. Because of mind control, I can not sue the federal government to stop the mind control and can not work on my website or promote it to expose the conspiracy. See http://www.whitefound.org/causemc.html for more information.
