I wouldn't mind being the District Forrester on the One Tree Plain, or the official tester in a screw factory.

I reckon that I would make a good starter for the human race...been around long enough.

What about you? Nothing sensible now, which wont be hard for some of ya!

As a very opinionated person ( you hadn't noticed had you ? ) I don't think I'd settle for anything less than world domination ( and I don't mean I want to be a dominatrix! ). However I suspect that ultimate power would go totally to my head and I would not be a very popular world leader ... assassination attempts would follow and it would all end in tears.

A maths teacher or a chef in a Chinese take away. Either way I would have to starve my family. :( Well maybe not for a chef. ;)

God.

I'd reforest the earth and turn crooks and politicians into local wildlife, i'd ban explotiation of the sea from for 50 yrs to allow it to repopulate and then control its use forever more. I'd provide free energy and matter transference and confiscate all the transport byways and replant forests inthier places. It would be an offence punishable by instant charcolisation to kill a wild animal not considered feral to an area. No animal would be allowed to be killed and eaten/wasted unless it was specifically grown for the purpose. I'd ban mdf and asbestos and hang spammers by thier balls in public places. Free health and interstallar travel would be made available. I would encourage the arts and sciences. I'd provide free matter converter food creating machine thingys and most importantly debunk religion once and for all.

This I would do, so help me me.

:D

A Greenie shooter, lets face it those dills need a decent bounty on their flea ridden scalps so I could make a fair quid..... they would be easy targets too as they don't seem to be too bright.

I would be the very highly paid subject of an intensive experiment in to human phycology and physiology.
They would give me everything I wanted, and place no demands on me. I would sleep when i felt like it, drink when i felt like it, watch my home cinema loud .........
The hypothesis being I would turn in to a lazy slob with no redeaming social value or moral fiber.

This test would take the rest of my life.

or maybe something with some resposibility, like quality control at a high class whore house :D

Performance car test driver.

All the companies in the world that produce performance cars would have to send me one of each of their fast cars, so I could test them, and determin if they live up to their status.

This would need to include all types of driving, from full track days, to daily driving and some sort of cannon-ball run on open roads. :)

I suppose I'd have to keep one or two of them for further analisys. ;)

I'd also need a Get out of Jail pass, to combate the effects of Steve Tax and the Greed cameras. :o


vroom vroom.

Sorry Grunt, industrial strength nepotism has ensured that's my job. James was my great^4 grandfather. :D

Mind you, his reputation was such that probably half Australia (and a fair few English) can claim descent. :eek:

Another job I'd like is a fitter at a bra shop.

Wood Borer
5th November 2004, 04:52 PM
Is that something like a diesel fitter?

When you get the measurements of the customer and select the corresponding bra you can call out Diesel Fitter.

Sorry but it's Friday and 2 days of woodwork coming up.

I hope that you are sitting down, old mate, but Mr Milligan has passed away and would not be happy at your giggles.

That was a good response fellas, I was just doodling on the keyboard as I didn't have anything intelligent to say and thought that there might be a couple of replies, but well done.
Now I reckon that we should send it all of to a shrink and have our answers analysed, hey?!
Did you notice that apart from the man that would be god, and the greenie bounty hunter, we all looked for personal gratification?

Now that ziggy's leaving Telstra , I wouldn't mind his job.
So this thread has been resurrected.
btw I reckon Ziggy's a cert for the position of CEO at James Hardie if he applies for it!
Maybe I can last as long as Richard Butler afore they wake up to me.
I'd send a personal memo to every Telstra employee asking them to justify their position.
Those who say "up yours" will be noted for promotion.
Those that meekly comply might even get a redundancy
I would set up Aussie based call centres to canvass Testras overseas CC operators offering them the princeley redundancy payment of $2-00 to quit or face the sack.
