    243rd Redudant Minister of Ministry of Redundancy....

    I'm actually on Dogbert's list for that office, in the event that he succeeds in overtaking the world as its supreme ruler.
    When you have three Romulan Warbirds blocking the escape route, Worf has an emotional breakdown about his childhood toy, Riker announces he's gay, Data's positronic brain gets a virus, and Geordi quits because he's had just one too many imminent warp core breach.... Just sit back, breathe, and follow these simple steps:

From his father he inherited a personal fortune estimated at $40 billion, which once placed him at the top of Fortune magazine's list of the world's richest people. Recent reports, however, suggest that his treasure has dwindled to a mere $10 billion-peanuts, these days.

    The question is: where in earth can it all have gone? It's not so easy to blow $30 billion, which is roughly equivalent to the entire annual income of all 125 million people living in Bangladesh."

    I said I want to be Sultan of Brunei, not Hassanal Bolkiah Muizzaddin Waddaulah.


    The current occupant of the throne hasn't my way with money. He keeps spending it on extravagant social welfare programs for the populace of his kingdom. I'd turn that place right around, let me tell you.

    Plus, employees get to bring home like 2 cases of beer a month (or was that a week?), I can't remember...

    QA/QC work is basic routine work, wouldn't you rather want to work as a QC manager? You'll get to be the boss of the QA/QC technicians
