Damn it, I'm 19. I'd do this. Old people are awesome.
LONDON (Reuters) - "Wanted: Person to accompany elderly gentleman to the pub" -- and the lucky winner will even get paid for sharing a friendly pint of beer.
Mike Hammond put the advertisement in his village post office so his widowed 88-year-old father Jack could have someone to chat to on twice-weekly visits to a southern England pub from a local nursing home.
"It's got to be the best job in the world," Mike Hammond said as he sifted through a list of likely candidates who will be paid 7 pounds an hour plus expenses.
The successful applicant must not be a woman, a teenager or "somebody who is just going to get wrecked. Dad is not a heavy drinker," Mike Hammond told the Times.
His father likes women, he said, but it would be a little bit awkward going out to the pub with a lady he didn't know.
