Ten Things You Should Never Say During A Job Interview

A good list from the folks at TBS.com...

Looking for a new job? Unfortunately, you'll probably have to interview for the position. Here are a few things to avoid in that stressful moment.

(NOTE: Don't be stupid enough to actually try any of the items below, or you'll find yourself in jail, in the hospital, or, even worse, in the unemployment line!)

  1. Oh, my criminal record? Well...if it helps, I didn't pull the trigger.

  2. If it involves sitting around doing nothing, I'm your man!

  3. Are you busy later? I know a great little Italian place.

  4. Wait, you wanted someone with at least a high school diploma? Nevermind.

  5. References? That may be a problem due to those stupid restraining orders.

  6. Aren't you Rachel's dad? Man, she's one wild and crazy chica!

  7. Do you mind if I light up?

  8. Where do I see myself a year from now? Sitting in your chair, actually.

  9. Sorry if I'm not up to par this morning...I still have a nasty hangover.

  10. Before we start the interview, can I get an advance on my pay? My bookie's an impatient man.

HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?

From an email I just received....

You have to try this please, it takes 2 seconds. I could not believe this!!! It is from an orthopedic surgeon............

This will boggle your mind and you will keep you trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't.

It's pre-programmed in your brain!

1. Without anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY......) and while sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right
hand. Your foot will change direction.

I told you so!!! And there's nothing you can do a bout it! You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you've not already done so.

Send it to your friends to frustrate them too!

Joke of the day...

Bubba had long heard the stories of an amazing family tradition.


It seems that his father, grandfather and great-grandfather
had all been able to walk on water on their 21st birthday.

On that special day, they'd each walked across the lake to
the bar on the far side for their first legal drink.

So when Bubba's 21st birthday came around, he and his
pal Jim Bob took a boat out to the middle of the lake.

Bubba stepped out of the boat and nearly drowned!

Jim Bob just barely managed to pull him to safety.

Furious and confused, Bubba went to see his grandmother.

"Grandma," he asked, "it's my 21st birthday, so why can't
I walk across The lake like my pappy, his father, and his
father before him?"

Granny looked deeply into Bubba's troubled eyes and said,
"Because your father, your grandfather and your great
grandfather were born in January, when the lake is frozen,
and you were born in July, you idiot."
