Out of work and willing to relocate? McDonald's is advertising for an assistant manager for its sole franchise in Cuba — serving up burgers and fries that sometimes feed detainees at the prison camps at Guantanamo Bay.

The help wanted ad popped up recently at the McVirginia.com careers Web site featuring the Golden Arches, a headline "Find a Career @ McDonald's" and this enticement: "Enjoy the perks."

It didn't specify salary but said, "Candidates must have restaurant management experience, possess a valid United States passport and be willing to relocate to Cuba."

Other incentives include half your rent paid and, potentially, tax-free status for year-round residents.

I don't think they'd want me as manager....I'm afraid some bodily fluids would end up in the inmate burgers...

I'd also switch to hogfat to fry the 'french' fries.

...Would you like Jihad with that?

Do I get the complimentary, Fidel provided rice cooker and all the electricity I can use (when it is available)?

GITMO is a little restrictive, OK a lot restrictive but it has some of the most beutiful beaches and the weather is nice, if a little dry. I received TAD order there for two weeks in 1983 and recall it, sans "detainees" with fond memories.

I've been there and agree 100%.

There are places where you can see the bottom as clear as a bell through 30 feet of water and the water temperature is always perfect.

There are just not enough single women there.
