Let’s face it, this has not been the greatest decade overall, especially if you live in a cave. Then again, if you live in a cave, you’ve probably made a wrong choice or two in your lifetime. You know who made a wrong choice in his life? Osama bin Laden.
Yes, when he chose to run away from home, shun his step father’s wealth and make it on his own, he made a mistake. Maybe he wasn’t hugged enough, maybe he was having trouble getting used to a new house. (“You’re not my real dad, I declare a jihad on you!”) If he had never done that, perhaps his life would have been completely different. We may never know for certain.
What we do know is this: bin Laden will not be working as caretaker of Hamilton Island in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. His application for the position was one of thousands. In it, he bragged of his familiarity with sandy places and experience with “large scale event coordination.” He even sent in the required video with his application.
But at last, bin Laden, you have been punished for the many bad life choices. No beach job for you!
