Klingon Interpreter Needed In Oregon

Posted by timothy on from the your-tax-dollars-at-play dept.

myrashka writes "CNN has a report of a position available for an Klingon-English interpreter by a mental health office in Oregon (how apropos). Could this be the start of the next hot job market (perhaps they'll need Nebari-English interpreters next)?"

    ...it's to be expected that they would have to find a reason to learn another language. Since anyone worth talking to speaks english, the need for fictional non-sense languages arises. This is to create a facade that there is, in fact, linqual diversity when, in fact, there is not.

    Once the US has control of the key areas of the world (we're already working on the middle earth), we will be able to dispense with such pretense. Then it will be english uber alles (and nothing else).

    I'm interested in knowing if Klingons urinate to begin with.

    I would like to know if Vulcans urinate. I'd be interested in knowing if Klingons and Vulcans get together on some rogue planet and urinate together in a giant clown head statue's mouth made from crystal.

      Of course they do. Don't be silly.

      Well, only if you consider Earth a rogue planet. And if you consider the Los Angeles water supply a giant clown head statue made from crystal. Then yes. Yes they do.

    The Iranians I've met are light years away from being terrorists.

    Perhaps this explains the need for Klingon translators, it's for pacifing the terrorists who litterally are from light years away.

    Yet one more reason why I love this state.

    Listen you ignorant asshole, do you know how many of the September 11th terrorists were Iranian? ZERO. You won't find any cases of Iranian suicide bombers either because Persian people aren't dumbass fanatics who have nothing to live for but Islam. If you don't understand that Persians and Arabs are different people then you need to wake up and pull your head out of your ass.
