2 Great Job Refusal Lines. Does anybody have others. [View all]

Not everybody wants every job. Here are two fine refusal lines.

Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, the last German general to surrender in WW1 was offered the post of ambassador to Great Britain by Adolf Hitler. His answer "Go fuck yourself."

David M. (last name omitted for privacy's sake. He's a former co worker) was offered a job writing publicity for Yakubu Gowon, then dictator of Nigeria. Dave was a partisan of Biafra. His answer, "Tell the African Hitler the only thing I will take from him is his life."

Does anyone else have some?
