@UncleMidriff said:Edgar's Consturction Company: Hmmm...Mr. Midriff, we see from your resume that you primarily used a screwdriver at your last job. Can you explain why?Mr. Midriff: Well, my primary duty there was to turn screws. A screwdriver, provided to me by the employer, seemed the best tool for the job.ECC: But we hate screwdrivers. We use hammers here, only hammers.M: Oh, I see. Well, as you can see from my resume, I've plenty of experience using hammers as well.ECC: Smirks Right. But, you used a screwdriver...would you have us believe that any construction worker worth hiring would use a screwdriver?M: Well...ummm...well yes, if that's what his employers require of him. Plus, the screwdriver really is the tool for the job of turning screws.ECC: ...M: ...I mean, sure, you could pound in a screw with a hammer, but I can hardly see why you'd want to do that, especially if, as in my case, your employer provides you with a perfectly capable screwdriver.ECC: "Perfectly capable screwdriver!" Heh, that's a good one.M: ...ECC: ahem Well, Mr. Midriff, we certainly appreciate your time, but we're afraid you're not quite what we're looking for.M: Oh. Well, I uh...ECC: We're looking for construction worker of a higher caliber, not one who would use a screwdriver.M: ......continuedECC: mumblewhispersnickerM: What?! I heard that! That's just absurd! I never once said I would try to hammer in nails with screwdrivers! All I was trying to do was to explain to you why I used a screwdriver at my last job. My previous employer wanted me to use screwdrivers to turn screws, and since that sounds pretty reasonable to me, that's what I did. You people want someone to hammer nails and that's fantastic, I can do that, just like my resume says.ECC: But Mr. Midriff, surely you can understand that we don't want to hire someone who thinks bashing nails in with a screwdriver is acceptable.M: ...ECC: So, you understand where we're coming from here...
