“They offered a hundred a year, just to cut my hair and wear a dress.”

“Four guineas a week merely to copy the encyclopedia.”

“Five hundred, to look up hardware stores.”

The newest member, in a Royal Guardsman uniform: “I was just offered ten thousand to go have a beer tonight!”

Leaving the Queen unguarded…

Everyone stampeded to Baker Street.

I can see Holmes pinching his eyes together: "For the last time, if it SOUNDS too good to be true..."

The ending makes me laugh too - so much ^__^ I can just see the pause after the Guardsman makes his announcement and then the penny dropping for all of them at the same moment ^^ Delightfully silly.

Would that translate into a Tumblr account or Facebook community called I'mPaidTooMuchForMyStupidJob?

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

That is a greatly amusing idea ^_^

Thanks! I can just imagine Holmes getting sick and tired of these too-good-to-be-true job-accepting dumbasses crying for help...
