I've always found the job interviews more amusing, perhaps because I tend not to get the job...
Being asked by someone in the seafood industry how I felt about 'bottom trawling', que smirking, girly nervous giggling and answering, 'umm.. personal choice? I mean, it's none of my business really'
Being asked, 'so why do you want to work for me?' and replying, 'uhh.. morbid fascination?' -
Robyn - I feel your pain...
I was kept in hospital for a week when I was born, while doctors tried to figure out what was wrong with me. Eventually they just came to the conclusion that, uhhh, I was white.
I've also been told that I look like a body floating down the river when I'm swimming (ok that's kinda funny)...
ANYWAY from age 10-17ish various fake tanners were the birthday/xmas present of choice from aunts (and there's a few of them - I'm Irish). My complexion was a far greater concern to them than me. -
Yeah, at least in a cesspit there's some agreement on the nature of the content. Still, pretty funny how similar the two comments were... or sad.

No need to thank me. Just don't sue

Probably, otherwise you could say whatever and put a question mark afterwards - eg, "Andrew Llewellyn - crackhead who eats babies?" Although, apparently it is hard to get someone for defamation... lawyer?

Mind. Boggling.
Oh yeah, well done guys. I've been walking round the office grinning all day. Most fun I've had creeping out the colleagues in weeks. I look forward to Codding*ton getting done for breaching embargo -
Hmmm. I always thought he looked a bit simple...those glazed over eyes... you know the type - good at making money, not so good at tying shoelaces.
Finally, a post that brings out the wimmin.. (tongue is in teh chek) -
Back in the day my mother and uncle shared a pony. He didn't particuarly like horses. Notwithstanding this, one day he chose to score some piss off points by staying on the horse so mother couldn't have a ride. Knowing he wasn't the bravest, she picked up a bit of nikau palm and started waving it round to scare the horse so that he'd get scared and get off.
It worked quite well - the horse crapped itself and dropped my uncle, who landed badly and proceeded to make a racket. Mother gave him her favourite toy so he wouldn't tell their mother exactly what happened.
So they both went inside, but my grandmother was busy with guests and sent my uncle to his room for being disruptive. She felt bad later when she went to check on him and found a pale shaking boy with a funny shaped arm. He can still play guitar but I haven't seen him ride a horse lately. -
My apologies, didn't mean to make light of Reeves. And yes I think they're responsible for more ACC claims than any other sport, hence them being labelled most dangerous sport in NZ. Bastards. Although there's no point in being scared of them, beyond the standard respect for anything 10x your size. I'm more scared of quad bikes ;) I guess you had to be there. We had to hose her down to get the clay dreadlocks out of her hair.

OTOH, the funniest injury I've seen was probably little sister on an out of control horse... he came charging down the hill (clay surface/raining) towards home and then stopped suddenly with about 20metres hill left. Little sister was catapulted, landing head/face first on wet clay. Because of the speed at which she hit the ground, she head/face skated the rest of the way down the hill, stopping abruptly when her helmet hit a tree stump. Oh how we laughed. Although the tree stump did break the helmet.
