Osama Bin Laden Offered Surprisingly Good Salaries and Vacation Time

Not that any real American would want to work for Al Quaeda, but let this sink in for just a second:

OSAMA BIN LADEN gave his Al Qaeda employees more vacation time than your company gives you, and, for Pakistan and Afghanistan, paid very well.  No Joke.

The CIA has been digging through the files that were recovered during the raid on bin Laden's compound, and they came across what basically amounts to Al Qaeda's human resources manual.  Here's what they found:

--Married employees got seven paid vacation days for every three weeks they worked.  For unmarried employees that dropped to five days.

--Employees with one wife got a salary of $108 per month.

--That's considerably less than any of us make, but pretty decent for Pakistan, where the average person makes $41 a month, or Afghanistan, where the average is $14 a month.

--Single employees got slightly less money.  Employees with more wives got slightly more money.--There's no word if this kind of salary and vacation package is still available now that bin Laden's gone.

Look, I don't want to work for Al Qaeda, but I WOULD love to have 12 weeks of paid vacation every year.  Heck, I'd be happy with four!
