Two Indonesian jobseekers have been tricked into getting their faces tattooed by a bogus official offering government jobs. Village chief Sawiyono - who was helping the men find jobs in Jakarta - claimed he had received a text message from a government official offering them work as intelligence officers but saying they would have to be inked first with a dragon tattoo, Antara state news agency said.
So much for that "secret agent" position.
Sawiyono realised he had been tricked after checking with the subdistrict chief of the Bojonegoro district of East Java who told him there was no such requirement.

But by then it was too late and the men had already been tattooed, the report said. "I am fully responsible for the mistake and I will do my best to help the men remove their tattoos,'' Sawiyono said.

The men have complained to police and were seeking treatment at a local hospital.
Yeah, and after that y'all can check yourself into the local kindergarten for a few weeks and learn some basic criical thinking skills. Until then, you'll need to war this hat in place of that tat.

#5  They can still work. They got Starbucks over there? How about bike messengers?

#4  No need to worry - I'm sure our own state department would be more than happy to hire them.

Sounds like a DIA plot. 2X chromo applicants need only apply.
