    I'm filling out a job application and it asks, "can you please tell us something interesting about yourself?"

    I've got my thinking cap on because it's usually my language skillz but that's the whole point of the job.

    What would yours be?

    I believe I was a koala born in Queensland Australia in 1898 in my previous life.

    Some lad asked one of my mates that question last week in Galway trying to hit on her.


    Maybe your prospective employer is hitting on you.

    I like, at night, to switch off my lights in front of oncoming cars, just before a turn off, take said turn and watch as they crawl by at a snails pace.

    Tell him you were the only person on planet earth that had to be delivered through your mum's butt hole.

    When he looks at you in disbelief, hold your index finger and thumb up, bout an inch apart, and say, "well It was that close".

    If you are really filling out a job application and you seriously came here for help I think you should come clean and tell them form filling is not your thing.

    Ah buddy, read the OP, quizzing other AHers for the laugh, not asking what mine should be!


    Honestly, apart from speaking 5 languages it's the fact that I broke a toilet at a church function but I don't think that would bode well.
