What's the most dangerous job?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

What's the most dangerous job?

Post by Obfleur » Thu Jun 02, 2005 1:31 pm

My vote; Sidekick/Wingman for a main character.

Lethal Weapon.
Murtaugh gets a bomb planted in his toilet.
That basically translates to; Murtaugh gets a bomb planted on his ass.

Evolution.
A bug crawls up Harry Block's ass.

From Dusk Till Dawn.
Richard Gecko... gets eaten by vampires.

Shaun of the dead.
Ed becomes a friggin zombie.
Can't believe I'm still here.

Chef at Sea:

Seagal in Under Siege

LL Cool J in Deep blue sea

Bloke that tries to blow up James Bond with a cake bomb but gets blown up himself

Sure there's more

Clearly, a highly precarious profession.

Well, let's look at the facts, shall we?

Stormy talks about the main villain, and a non-trilogy movie.

You say Dooku dies in the first 15 minutes and Star Wars isn't a trilogy.

So, what we get from that is Dooku can't possibly be the main villain, unless Star Wars is under 20 minutes in length, which it isn't.

Motorway Maintenance Man has to be up there on the most dangerous list. I mean, you try coning off a lane while vehicles are bombing past in excess of 40mph (sometimes many, many times that speed!).

Oh, looking for a less serious answer?

Um...
