1. Being married to Victoria Beckham
2. Being stuck in Baghdad with the dialogues from my middle school text book as the only phrase book you have. (Inho indeed)
3. Being 50, still living with my parents and have them do all my washing.
4. Being George Bush's conscience.
5. American/Canadian beer. (Yep even moosehead)
6. Being a piece of furniture in the Big Brother house.
7. A doctor or nurse in an OAP home.
8. Being Floyd Mayweather on December 9th.
9. Teaching in an English secondary school
10. Working on the reception for the "Axis of Evil"

Dude, if you think Moosehead is the pinnacle of Canadian beer, you're obviously not a Canuck.

Try Sleemans or Big Rock and get back to me.

Ooh what about having to use a colostomy bag for the rest of your days... or being paralyzed and unable to get-yo-**ck-on? what about having a catheter shoved down your crank, my old man said that was the worst pain he's ever been in.

Cohiba, you asked for 10 things worse than being in Korea.

1. Being married to Posh Spice, what a hassle. She's barely human now. No chance.

2. Being in Korea with these public school text books is bad enough. They're completely useless. Imagine being in Baghdad and making use of them.

6. I hate Big Brother, the idea of being a piece of furniture and having to listen to the shi*ty inane chat that those morons do would make me want to shoot myself. Granted I'm already an inanimate object.

7. Have you ever been into a hotel room of a coach tour granny who's drying her 'smalls' on the radiator? Nope I have when I worked in a Hotel, it's not a nice smell. Imagine this magnified 200 times. (I would say that carers/doctors do a great job, though)

8. Mayweather is gonna be weaved into the canvas by Hatton on the 8th December. The day after is not going to be good.

10. Can't explain this one. But I'm sure that the Axis of Evil does have a reception, somewhere in a bunker. And I'm sure it's busy.
