Swiss Guard

You can't look at a photo of the colorful and archaically-costumed Swiss Guards at the Vatican and not wonder about the history of the unit- or how these guys got such a sweet gig. If you're a Roman Catholic Swiss man who is a former member of the Swiss Armed Forces, under 30, and at least 5'8", send them your resume.

The Swiss Guard, the world's smallest and most colorful army, most definitely comes equipped with a church key.
