If you speak Klingon and enjoy working with crazy people (and who doesn't?), then Multnomah County, Oregon has a job for you. The AP reports that the county is looking for translators to help them communicate with a variety of foreign language speaking mental health patients, including some who will only speak Klingon.

UPDATE - Klingons need not apply...
After receiving a great deal of publicity, Multnomah County decided it doesn't wish to hire Klingon speaking translators after all, according to the AP. A news release from the county says in part, "It was a mistake, and a result of an overzealous attempt to ensure that our safety net systems can respond to all customers and clients."
(So Multnomah County won't hire Klingons - just another example of the widespread discrimination faced by Klingons in our supposedly enlightened society.)
