A BIZARRE INTERVIEW TECHNIQUE
Dear Mr. Conners, Thank you for your letter of February 17th. After careful consideration I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me employment with your bank. This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates it is impossible for me to accept all refusals. Despite Company 203's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at this time. Therefore I will initiate employment with your firm immediately following graduation. I look forward to seeing you then. Sincerely,

Sleeping on the job 15. "They told me at the blood bank this might happen." 14. "This is just a 15 minute power-nap like they raved about in the last time management course you sent me to." 13. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the liquid paper" 12. "I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm!" 11. "This is one of the seven habits of highly effective people!" 10. "I was testing the keyboard for drool resistance" 9. "Actually I'm doing a "Stress Level Elimination Exercise Plan" (SLEEP) I learned it at the last mandatory seminar you made me attend. 8.

What is the difference between a used-car salesman and a computer salesman? The used-car salesman knows when he's lying to you.
I once got an especially helpful reply to a question I asked on Microsoft's on-line tech support service. I wrote back to thank them for a complete and concise reply, and said how much I appreciated it. The next day I had a response: "We are looking into the problem and will contact you with a solution as soon as possible."
Impressing Colonel Having just moved into his new office, a pompous, new colonel was sitting at his desk when an airman knocked on the door. Conscious of his new position, the colonel quickly picked up the phone, told the airman to enter, then said into the phone, "Yes, General, I will be seeing him this afternoon and I will pass along your message. In the meantime, thank you for your good wishes, sir." Feeling as though he had sufficiently impressed the young enlisted man, he asked, "What do you want?" "Nothing important,
sir," the airman replied. "Just here to hook up your telephone."
Coffee and Viagra "Have you considered trying Viagra?" asks the doctor. "Not a chance," says Mrs. Murphy. "He won't even take an aspirin for a headache." "No problem -- there's away around that," replies the doctor. "Drop it into his coffee -- he won't even taste it. Try it and come back in a week to let me know how you got on." A week later Mrs. Murphy returns to the doctor and the doctor inquires as to how things went. "Oh doctor, it was horrible, horrible, horrible!" "What happened?" asks the doctor, aghast. "Well, I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee. The effect was almost immediate. He jumped straight up, swept the cutlery off the table, ripped my clothes off and then proceeded to make passionate love to me on the tabletop. It was horrible!" "What was horrible?" asked the doctor. "Was the sex not fulfilling?" "Oh no, doctor, the sex was the best I've had in 25 years. But I
don't think I'll ever be able to show my face at Starbucks again!"
