1. Say that you're a perfectionist
if they ask your strength, say the same answer

3. I hate that stupid question. I've heard it as,
"what's your greatest weakness?" but it's the same question.

Like anybody's gonna blurt out, "I'm lazy" or something like that.

7. What was the last thing you stole?
I worked for a guy who asked that one of all his applicants. He didn't care what the answer was unless it was "I never stole anything."

Because that's a liar. No job for that guy.

10. I got that question, while hooked up to a lie detector yet.
I have never stolen anything (for real! not even a candy bar as a kid!) and the person administering the test warned me not to reply "No" to the "Have you ever stolen anything?" question, because everybody has stolen something...even as a little kid. I told him that actually I had never stolen anything, even as a little kid, and he gave me this irritated shrug and got on with the test.

At the end, he says, "Damn, you really haven't ever stolen anything, have you??"

11. It Was Part Of The Mike Brown Hearing
Chris Shays used it to analogize Mike Brown's answer to if any mistakes were made by blaming others....
