Is this Monty Python?
I have an anecdote about a job interview I had.
A real flake interviewed my for a job (I contract, so I do this a lot) and asked more and more dumb questions mostly nothing to do with the actual job, he couldn't really tell me what it involved, and seemed to be repeating questions he'd already given me. I basically realised I wasn't going to take the job as the company was probably terrible, given this dude's lack of focus.
Then I snapped when he asked 'If you were a tree, what sort of tree would you choose to be?'
My reply:
"Hickory. It makes a good sturdy bat, so I could be used to beat to death whoever asks a lot of dumb, pointless questions. And then I could be planed down into wood shavings, and scattered on that person's funeral pyre to make it smell nice."
