Saving the President....Reward?

Expanding?

Should we include Presidents of very large (and profitable) Mega Corps?

Last I heard the President of the USA doesn't actually get paid millions of dollars a year.

Right now, there are people richer than the President of the United states. Not all of them havea bodyguard service.

Saving the creator of Facebook =....lots of Friending?

... Saving the life of a Head of State(or anyone really), in order to obtain a reward, only requires knowing where they are(so you can be present at the same time), having someone attack them(so you can save them), and luck(that you succeed and survive saving their life)...

The first is rather simple for Heads of State since they tend to inform people where they are going to be at a given time(assuming you're saving them while their on the road, and not in their office at home... Which would present problems in achieving the desired result*

). While the last two aren't exactly controllable(Well, they could be, but that also presents problems in getting the desired result*

Again, getting a reward

)...

It seems more likely, to me, that you'd be charged with stalking or harassment, if you followed around a rich person waiting for them to be attacked... At least in comparison to a Head of State(though you'd probably be flagged by their actual bodyguards by your fifth appearance at the same place)...

What if it was a 1980s action film, and you saved the President and his family from their generic Central American kidnappers who want to sell their new Super-Cocaine? Like, you're a well-muscled, vaguely foreign-sounding special forces vet who gets put onto this last job just two days before retirement, and it ends in an enormous shootout in Pablo Expybar's enormous villa in the banana republic of Generixo. Only TWIST, it turns out that there never was a President because M Night Shyamalan is directing.

What was I talking about again?

And let us pray that come it may (As come it will for a' that)

It was an honor

Your reward for saving the president is implication in the scheme to kidnap him. If you survive your interrogation you can have a cookie, in the meantime get into the electrohappyfun machine.

Meh. Presidents are ten-a-penny. You can always get another.

Saving the Queen would get you a boatload of medals, she's Head of State of so many different countries and I recon each one would want to give you a medal. Of course the Queen would never need saving, as she's already badass enough to star alongside James Bond.

Oliver Sipple saved President Ford and all he got was a thank-you note. So... the answer is "not much", I'm afraid.

Groovy.

A nice note would do me just fine, actually.

I like things like that. I'd put it in a little frame and stick it in the cabinet with medals and trophies and things.

I'd maybe ask for something for my wife, though. A letter of reccomendation for a new job? How about the new job, actually?

I thought saving the Queen made you God.

Share it so that people can get into this conversation, 'cause we're not the only ones who think like this.

Well, there is that.

'All he needs is for somebody to throw handgrenades at him for the rest of his life...'

In as much as eating sugar makes you Hitler.

Yeah, but no one wrote a song about that.

Wanna bet?
