How To Get A Job 101

I was thinking about a couple of old friends of mine this morning. They have lived all over the world, but are living in the States right now. They've been together since university and they're one of those couples that are just such good fun to be around. They are really funny. You always know that you are in for some serious belly laughing when you spend time in their company.

Anyway, they're pregnant which is really cool. I pointed out that their child will have an Amercian accent and he pointed out that he was confident his wife will be giving birth to the next American president.

Quite a few years ago he was interviewing for a job with a big flash ad agency, since he came from a numbers background I seem to recall that the job was a bit of a longshot.

'Now, Mr Jobhopeful,' said one of his potential employers, 'would your friends describe you as dynamic?'

'No,' he said, 'but they'd say I was hung like a rogue elephant.'

He got the job.
