Hey I got to know my Lebanese grocer, and he's a really great guy! Now I'm thinking of going over there to teach. Is Lebanon near Saudi Arabia or Iraq? Because I really don't want to go there. I'm thinking it's near that Kurdish place, what's it called? Mosul? |

Quite close to a place called Megido, better known in the West as "Armageddon". |

Seriously, a quick check on the Internet will show you where Lebanon is located.
Regardless, there rarely are ads for EFL teachers from abroad because the country produces its own capable teachers. |

Uh, guys - could be wrong, but I strongly suspect this is a spoof.
At least I HOPE it is.

Dear johnslat:
I dunno why you think so.
I mean, I have a Lebanese grocer too, and he's also a great guy.
What are the chances? It must be fate.
Now, I must gather my things, wish my family and friends farewell, and head to Lebanon to offer my services as a native speaker of English.

No, I think it's closer to China or Japan. Oh, wait, no, it's in Ohio.

Or it's in Pennsylvania... Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Not too far from Jordan, Minnesota, and Egypt, Arkansas.  |

Oh, this is just so confusing! Maybe we should ask for clarification on an internet message board.  |

Shouldn't you be putting together that list of good and bad TEFL cert courses?  |

Frankly, Bubba's TEFL Shack is better. |

Seriously! Suphanburi's a long-time, highly respected contributor to these hallowed forums. I trust anything that he prints up on Photoshop. |
