[Zomby Woof]

53. I was doing some field work in Santa Monica yesterday

And I have to say, it was a hardship driving down the PCH on the way back to Long Beach with the ocean breeze wafting throght my car. :D

Now take this with you to compare benefits

http://edition.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/02/16/jihad.study/

Indeed, some of the documents used by researchers indicate that al Qaeda has vacation plans -- seven days every three weeks for married members, five days a month for bachelors -- and provides its members with 15 days of sick leave a year.

One document states that al Qaeda operatives must request vacation 10 weeks in advance, and another document outlines the pay scale for members: about $108 a month for married members, less if they're single and more if they have more than one wife.

Oh and 15 days of sick leave a year

[GOPisEvil]

60. "Sorry Osama, I can't hijack that plane today. My sinuses are killing me.

Yeah, I'll get that leave form into Zarqawi ASAP."

Well, terrorist groups have to attract good employees - makes sense.
