Either 'they' are bored, picky or queer, but I'm sure "they' will decide I'm 
not worth their time in 3 and half nano-seconds...

Thanks for these charming questions anyways. I have enjoyed them.


"Are you more of a hunter or a gatherer?"  - If I answer hunter, they will 
think I'm a cruel murder/butcher/etc. If I say gatherer, they will think I'm a 
lowly thief. *sigh* (It does not matter the prey is standing still, then you're 
both anyways.)

"Do you believe in Big Foot?" - What should I say? Yes/No/Footprints were made 
by some bigfooted man? :-)

"How honest are you?" - *sigh* yes/no will yield me as a liar. *sigh*

How does the internet work?" - I will say 'group of interconnected computers 
where they are connected so that any link can be rerouted.' (or similar answer) 
*SIGH*, they will say I'm just talking geek-language and show me the door.

"What's the color of money???...." - Simply - 'Invisible' - but then they will 
say I'm just a lousy spender.

"Have you ever stolen a pen from work?" - I would say, yes, but remember that 
'honesty' question. ;-D :-D

... but you forgot those erasers, pencils, private photostats and surfing 
Internet using work resources. I will make 'them' angry if I ask during 
interview whether their pens are stolen too ...

John, I will *never ever* get a job too... ;-)
