Crazy people love Klingons!

Portland Ore. - Position Available: Oregon County Seeks Klingon Interpreter, must be fluent in Klingon.

The language from Star Trek is one of 55 needed by the office that treats about 60,000 mental health patients.

Created for Star Trek, Klingon was found by Multnomah County researchers to be considered a complete language by many mental health patients. For some mental health patients this was all they would speak.

Some of these nuts really speak Klingon!

This obligates County officials to respond with a Klingon-English interpreter, putting the language of starship Enterprise officer Worf and other Klingon characters on a par with common languages such as Russian and Vietnamese, and less common tongues including Dari and Tongan.

It's funny but my brother used to call those "Dingleberries" that hang on after you wipe your ass, Klingons.
