Desperate

Thursday night

Two European men showed up at an American shipyard looking for employment. Neither spoke much English, and both carried letters of introduction. The first read, "My priest sent me to look for job." The second read, "God sent me to look for job."

There's certainly some symbolism here that I can't quite make out, regarding fishermen, fishing for souls, etc. Then again, maybe they were mistaken, and were supposed to be looking for Job.
