The new jobs created by terrorists

Day before yesterday I was watching CNN news early in the morning and was waiting for the Judge’s announcement of the name of the guy who was arrested in the airport in connections with the bomb blast plan and was much pleased to see that these terrorists are creating new jobs.

I came to know about 2 new (at least to me) weird job titles: Terror Expert and Terrorism Analyst.

There are guys who are talking – talking a lot – in CNN about the bomb blasts and when they appear on the screen they have their name displayed under which their job title is also displayed. How will he ever introduce himself to others professionally?

“Hey Mike, Nice to meet you. I am blah blah blah working as Terror Expert..” Sounds weird. But that’s how the world works.

My friend suggested that in future there is a possibility that you could have Terrorism Man like you have Weather Man. And there will be a map displayed in the screen showing parts of the world where there could be a bomb blast today or tomorrow or perhaps a weekly forecast: Terrorism Forecast.

So when you see this terrorism forecast in the TV news, you cannot just take an umbrella with you as you do when you know there is a possibility of bad weather. No, umbrellas cannot protect you from bombs.

You must buy Terrorism Insurance.
