You, in one word

[Cain]

My brother went for an interview at his local Scream bar the other day. one of the questions he was asked was "If you had one word to describe yourself, what would it be?"

His answer of "love. no, wait. funk. yeaaahhhhh. Funk ." wasn't enough to get him a job.

How would sinners describe themselves, if they had but one word to do it with. joining-up-words-with-hypens and runningallyourwordstogether counts as cheating.

I don't think that would get you the job.

Mine would be:-

"I'm sorry, but what kind of fucking stupid question is that? Am I needed to play lingustic word games? Do you have one word nights where punters come up and say "I need 2 pints of tenents, three glasses of sex on the beach and incidently, my friends just set fire to the chair" and I have to encapsalute "Were out of sambruka, is it ok if i make it with madori instead, theres a fire estingusher in the corner, and that'll be £15.43 please." in one word and a gesture? The mere fact you have to ask god damn stupid meanlingless and inane questions like that shows how fucked up you are at recruitment. Go on, ask me someone sensible - ask me to get behind the bar and pull you a pint, or set fire to a chair and see how |I react. God damn stupid idiotic fools."

I probably wouldnt get the job either.

i think James' answer sounds like the best so far. i heard some bloke mention the same thing last night in the pub before i even knew about this thread. coincidence there. anyway said bloke said that they asked him to describe himself in one word & all he could think of was 'dangerous'. he didn't get the job in the end.

reminds me of the time when as a toddler i did some kind of development test & was asked if i could build some bricks to which i answered 'no'. which at least showed i'd developed a sense or irony.

[hr]watches should have a smiley face on them as it's always time to be happy

[underworlddreams]

'Tired'

Dunno why, either - I've been sleeping like a baby, but just not restfully. Nevermind...
