What you probably don\u2019t know is that not all Stormtroopers spend their time warmongering and torturing people. In fact many of them don\u2019t even make enough from Stormtoopering to support a family and have to take second jobs at StarBucks, as chefs and butlers to Vader, or babysitting mini-troopers. They do, however, get to enjoy poledances by slave-Leia lookalikes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;\">Indiana Jones and quest for therapy<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"indy-1\" src=\"http:\/\/weburbanist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/indy-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"263\" \/><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"indy-2\" src=\"http:\/\/weburbanist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/indy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"351\" \/><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"indy-3\" src=\"http:\/\/weburbanist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/indy-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"351\" \/><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"indy-4\" src=\"http:\/\/weburbanist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/indy-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"351\" \/><\/span><\/h4>\n<h6><span style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;\">(sources: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/rhinoneal\/2830623548\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #2244BB;\">rhinoneal<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/donsolo\/2376005917\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #2244BB;\">donsolo<\/a>)<\/span><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;\">If you think you were disappointed by Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, imagine what Indy had to go through.
