Con Artists and Frauds

(inspired by the book of Daniel and King Nebuchadnezzar)
Twice he had the people who held these positions put to death.
This is a comic attempt with a modern day slant on what might have happened in the kingdom.
It is a nod to Mel Brooks and his type of humor.

Job Posting

Hear ye, hear ye
   Due to the recent decapitations and hangings, the king is in need of a fresh crop of soothsayers, dream interpreters, magicians, and sorcerers!

Qualifications are as follows:

1. Experience in making up and interpreting dreams
2. No fear of death or banishment
3. Good at kissing up to the royal family
4. Must be good at using smoke and mirrors
5. Experience in acting and delivering dramatic recitations
6. Must have a signed last will and testament
7. Doesn't mind living only temporarily in the royal palace

Only desperate greedy fools and slaves need apply
