Title: Saudi Arabia advertises for eight new executioners as beheading rate soars
Post by: AllPurposeAtheist on May 18, 2015, 10:02:52 PM
Need a job, but lack experience?  As Republicans love to push, JOBS JOBS JOBS!
QuoteSaudi Arabia is advertising for eight new executioners, recruiting extra staff to carry out an increasing number of death sentences, usually done by public beheading.

No special qualifications are needed for the jobs whose main role is “executing a judgment of death” but also involve performing amputations on those convicted of lesser offences, the advert, posted on the civil service jobs portal, said.


The Islamic kingdom is in the top five countries in the world for putting people to death, rights groups say. It ranked third in 2014, after China and Iran, and ahead of Iraq and the United States, according to Amnesty International figures.

Would I have to move? Could I just push a button online?

As a matter of fact, I hereby establish electronic-electrocution-execution.com or (E2 Execution). Who wants to buy stock?

Do they provide me with a sword or do I have to bring my own at the interview?

Maybe it's just me but I want my executioner to have a little experience and at least the strength to get the job done right the first time.. None of this "Oops, I missed" shit..

Not everyone gets to be in the pro leagues. Sometimes you're just the practice dummy.

I don't know why they don't move into the 21st century and cut jobs in favor of technology. Sheesh.

Do you have to be expert at different methods, like head-chopping, stoning, hanging and arrow shooting?

They probably only need 1, but you know...sick days, maternity leave,  vacation time and heck,  they don't want to have to pay overtime..
