Excerpt from the diary of a Goon:

Quote:
It's not always easy to come by a good job. You can't really advertise "Hired Goons needed for evil plot to take over the world" in the local paper. Most of our work comes by word of mouth, we're kind of like a guild, unofficially of course. We tried to unionize back in the 60's, but we learned rapidly that evil geniuses are usually unstable and not afraid to throw entire workforces into the piranha tank, even if it means the death ray isn't ready on time.

One guy was so stubborn at the bargaining table we just came to call him "Dr. No" and we didn't really stand by him when you-know-who came calling.
