NURSERY HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGER: So, Mr. Planter. You wish to join our company to cultivate saplings.
ARBORIST: YES!
NHRM: We always like to ask our potential employees this question: "What do you see as your strong points and your weak points?"
ARB: WELL, AS FAR AS MY STRONG POINTS ............
NHRM: Please, sir, you don't need to yell.
ARB: NEED? DID YOU SAY NEED? DID I CAUSE YOU NEEDLESS SUFFERING?
NHRM: I just want to remind you that I'm sitting on the other side of this desk. I can hear you fine. Now about those strong points ......
ARB: Oh, sorry. My strong points; Well, I've never drowned a baby
NHRM: Pardon me??
ARB: You know, like God did
NHRM: Hmmm, OK, so you believe in God.
ARB: No
NHRM: But you believe He drowned babies?
ARB: Yes, I mean no
NHRM: Your strong point is that you haven't done something done by someone you also don't believe did? That's setting the bar rather low, isn't it?
Let's move on. Any other strong points?
ARB: That's about it. Oh yeah. I don't punctuate my sentences with periods
NHRM: Why is that? Are you a fan of ee cummings?
ARB: Who? Is that a Monty Python character? I'm a big fan
NHRM: Uh, never mind your weak points. That won't be needed.
ARB: NEEDED? Did you say they'd be UNNEEDED? That reminds me ...............
NHRM: I'll tell you what, sir. We'll keep your application on file. Thanks for your interest.
ARBORIST: YES!
