All cherries are delicious.

What do you know about octopuses?

All octopuses are delicious if cooked properly. What is your favorite season?

Spring, because anything is better than weather in any other part of the year.

Same question.

Spring is always my favorite.

Are you a workaholic?

I wish I could be one and people would let me by leaving me alone.

Do you find almost anything addictive?

Yes, I do. I myself have intensely studied things like foreign film history, medieval torture devices, types of glues, types of sneaker soles, types of belly buttons and other esoterica.

Do you like exercising?

No, but as a non-driver I have to walk a lot. When I don't have to go anywhere, I tend to be inactive.

Do you like bean sprouts?

Although not my favorite food, I eat them whenever my mom prepares them.

Have you ever met an animal smarter than you?

Yes, Jerry was smarter than me when I met him in my dream.

What is your one goal to reach before this Saturday?

To be better than I was previously.

Your thoughts on this man's reaction?

I agree with him. I'm tired of hearing about people who are famous for being famous. What is your favorite fruit?

Grapefruits.

Do you like lemons?

Yep. They're okay. I'm not a super fan, though, as I rarely buy them and don't drink lemonade that much. I did use to buy them, however, to use as the curdling agent when I made cheese.

In Iceland they serve whale meat in restaurants. Are you interested?

No, thanks. I'm not really an adventurous eater, especially with meat.

Do you like persimmons?

Nope.

Are you a listener or a speaker?

yeah i got the context of the thread wrong but i will still allow my post to stand.....
this would take more dialogue and take longer to develop into such a situation if it really happened but this is just a summary.

boss:first of all thanks for being punctual at this interview.

applicant: sure sure...

boss: the first thing i will say is that punctuality has always been a sign of subservience in my opinion, but nevertheless, thanks for being on time.

applicant: that's ok.

boss: is it indeed? do you think i assume it's not OK otherwise?

applicant: no of course not...

boss: well then it is a mystery to me as to why you would spend energy on telling me it is OK when you agree that i would have already known that fact, but anyway continue to ply your spiel...

applicant: well i 'm applying for the job of....

boss: sorry it is apparent that you have not addressed my previous question to my satisfaction.

applicant: and what question was that?

boss: i excused you for being late, but you failed to tell me why "being late" mattered in the first place before you apologized. did you apologize because you thought i expected you to, or were you actually mindlessly sorry due to your idea of what it means to be "late"

applicant: well i am just sorry...i guess....that's all....

boss: what, a generic type of "sorry" or something. you just said you are sorry and you have no idea what you are sorry about. does that not stike you as odd?

applicant: i'm just applying for this job and i don't know what you are talking about.

boss: that sounds reasonable...i will call you next week to tell you whether you have the position.

applicant: but i really can't....

boss: really can't what?

applicant: i really can't avoid your questions like that.

boss: like what? i just stopped asking them and you had no further need to answer them so i will contact you next week. good afternoon.
