+ | [[Cueball]] is presumably asked to answer the typical HR interview question: What is your dream job? Rather than going with the more common answers that are designed to increase the chances of landing that particular job, Cueball talks about unrealistic jobs that are fun, whimsical, and so well compensated that a little over one hour on the clock would provide enough wealth for a luxurious retirement; of course, you can have such a job only in your dreams. Some people think peeling lint off dryer traps is quite fun, but it gets boring soon, so Cueball wants to do that only for 5 minutes, followed by pressing a lightsaber handle up to things (this does not exist yet, sadly) for an hour. Then Cueball would like to retire to a life of luxury, and the only way to bring him out of it is to offer him to do another fun task till he gets bored again. | ||

Dryer lint is extremely combustible. If he does not do things in the correct order, pressing the lightsaber handle against things and turning it on might ignite the dryer lint and cause a major fire. | |
− | The | + | The lightsaber part could be a reference to the beginning of Star Wars Episode I, where Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn does exactly this. |
