JIB: Job Interview Breakdown

Have you ever been a victim of a JIB (job interview breakdown)?

These men and women have:

• “I was so nervous at a job interview, when he asked me what I wanted to be in five years, I said, ‘Race car driver.’”

• “The guy asked me to tell him a little about myself, and I literally forgot who I was.”

• “I got asked about punctuality. I went on about how it was good to speak clearly and politely, and
it was nice to use proper grammar in speech and writing.”

The Dumbest Police Calls in America

From the police blotter or what a beat cop deals with every day:

• A deputy responded to a report of a vehicle stopping at mailboxes. It was the mail carrier.

• A woman said her son was attacked by a cat, and the cat would not allow her to take her son to the hospital.

• A resident said someone had entered his home at night and taken five pounds of bacon.
  Upon further investigation, police discovered his wife had gotten up for a late-night snack.

• A man reported that a squirrel was running in circles on Davis Drive, and he wasn’t sure if it was sick or had been hit by a car. An officer responded, and as he drove on the street, he ran over the squirrel.

The Deadliest Job in WWII

My high school assignment was to ask a veteran about World War II.

Since my father had served in the Philippines during the war, I chose him.

After a few basic questions, I very gingerly asked, “Did you ever kill anyone?”

Dad got quiet. Then, in a soft voice, he said, “Probably. I was the cook.”

What  An Ugly Duck

My husband was waterskiing when he fell into the river. As the boat circled to pick him up, he noticed a hunter sitting in a duck boat in the reeds. My husband put his hands in the air and joked, “Don’t shoot!”

The hunter responded, “Don’t quack.”

No Bedside Manner

I’d never had surgery, and I was nervous.

“This is a very simple, noninvasive procedure,” the anesthesiologist reassured me.

I felt better, until … “Heck,” he continued, “you have a better chance of dying from the anesthesia than the surgery itself.”


Wearing Husband Goggles

The party’s host paid me a great compliment.

“You are a good-looking woman,” he said. “Honest—I’ve had only one beer.”

My glow was only slightly dimmed when my husband interjected, “Imagine how great she’ll look after two.”

Shorts and Late Night

TMZ reported that the rapper Nelly is in debt to the IRS for about $2 million. I guess now when Nelly sings, “If you want to go and take a ride with me,” it’s only because he’s working as an Uber driver.

Have You Ever Been Insulted And Complimented At The Same Time?

It’s amazing how a person can compliment and insult you at the same time.
Recently, when I greeted my coworker, she said, “You look so gorgeous, I didn’t recognize you.”

To My Children:

Never make fun of having to help me with computer stuff.

I taught you how to use a spoon.

Today's Short Reading from the Bible... from Genesis:

"And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth". 
 
Then he made the earth round… and he laughed and laughed and laughed!

A lot of celebrities are sharing their views of the election. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Bruce Springsteen called Trump a moron. Which is why now Trump’s starting a rumor that Springsteen wasn’t really born in the USA.
