The Top Ten

  1. If you were a salad, what kind of dressing would you be?

    Right now? This very moment? Well, if I were a salad, I know I'd be splashing my dressing...

  2. How would you rate me as an interviewer?

    This is one of the trickiest questions an interviewer can ask. The simple formula to tackle this one is to speak honestly about your views.

    This question bumped you down to a four. A five would be better in this situation, wouldn't it? But nah, four.

  3. If you were shipwrecked on a deserted island and all your human needs (such as food and water) were taken care of, what two items would you want to have with you?

    Well, I'd get a portrait of you and your autograph. I admire you so much! Damn it, just give me the job.

    A computer and a charger. I would already have a house because that's a human need.

    My large stereo system and Vulgar Display of Power by Pantera.

  4. If someone wrote a biography about you, what do you think the title should be?

    The Most Magnificent and Perfect Human That Ever Stepped Earth! Did I get the job?

    Hmm... The Great Legacy of the Pickle in the Dapper.

  5. If you had only six months left to live, what would you do with the time?

    Travel in time and make it longer.

    Find out how to not die in six months.

  6. If you could have dinner with anyone from history, who would it be and why?

    History... Jesus, because I want to go to Heaven.

    I'd have dinner with Mahatma Gandhi.

  7. If you were a car, what type would you be?

    That car from Christine, so I could murder my enemies. No, wait - that's a bit too far.

    A Mustang or a Jaguar. I love sports cars!

  8. If you could be a superhero, what would you want your superpowers to be?

    Super flexibility, so I could be super tall.

    "Cable Connection and T.V. Is Scientifically Proven as Vital for Life"

  10. If you were a type of food, what type of food would you be?
