Why Old Men Don't Get Hired

At Job interview:


Human Resources Manager: "What is your greatest weakness?"


Old man: "Honesty."




Human Resources Manager: "I don't think honesty is a weakness."

Old Man: "I don't really give a shit what you think."

Do you understand Japanese?
Do you have a college degree?
When can you start?
