stilleto

Come one everyone, sing along!

“These shoes were made for stabbing, and that’s what just what they’ll do.
One of these days these stilleto heels will stab you the face.”

Doesn’t rhyme but it did get 22 year-old Chetania Davis a year probation and her 52 year-old co-worker seven staples in her face. Much to my surprise her co-worker was also an exotic dancer!

Chetania was upset that there was a new dancer and felt that they didn’t need any new dancers. I don’t think they need a new 52 year-old dancer but what was Chetania worried about? Do you think Morton’s Steakhouse is really concerned when a Sizzler opens up nearby? Noooo.   Nor do they go and repeatedly stab the manager of the new McDonald’s nearby.

An excerpt of 25 weird interview questions from Yahoo!:

Most of these interview questions are really just math related. Here are the truly odd interview questions.

1. If you were shrunk to the size of a pencil and put in a blender, how would you get out?

6. How many basketballs can you fit in this room? (Reportedly from Google)

8. If you could be any superhero, who would it be?

12. An apple costs 20 cents, an orange costs 40 cents, and a grapefruit costs 60 cents. How much is a pear? (Reportedly from Epic Systems)

16. What do wood and alcohol have in common? (Reportedly from Guardsmark)

17. How do you weigh an elephant without using a weigh machine? (Reportedly from IBM)

Feel free to leave your answers in the comments. Maybe someone will hire you.
