It's days from Friday, but I have to comment. Like a puzzle for my
granddaughter: which question is not (stupid) like the others? As if it
were imponderable and unanswerable outside the realm of fancy: why are
tennis balls fuzzy? The answer is that they were originally smooth and
fast and very bouncy. The bounce and speed were a challenge for players
but made for lousy spectating because rallies were swift and short. Fairly
boring to watch. The solution was to fuzz up the balls in order to slow
them down so that rallies would last long enough to evoke the oohs and ahs
that we engage in today.
What's stupider than a stupid question? A stupid questioner.

Speaking of job interviews, here's one possible reason why old guys do
not
do well in interviews:
Interviewer: "What would you say is your worst shortcoming?"
Old guy: "My honesty."
Interviewer: "I don't think that honesty is necessarily a shortcoming."
Old guy: "I really don't give a sh*t what you think."
End of interview.
