Now Playing: Indiana Jones & the Center for Urologic History

Indiana Jones: Too bad the Hovitos don't know you the way I do, Belloq.
Belloq: Yes, too bad. You could warn them... if only you spoke Hovitos!

And it looks like you could have a better shot at this Managing Director, Government Relations position with an unknown company somehow involved in off-highway diesel engine products & applications if you possessed a strong knowledge of German. We can’t help Dr. Jones, but we can suggest the top-notch and reasonably-priced German language instruction at the Goethe Institute, kicking off on June 7. Search managed by the intimidating-sounding Malace & Associates.
