Snappy answers to stupid interview questions part 1
Inspired by a thread over on FFC, and the following discussion on some of the stupid questions people get at job interviews. No doubt we've all heard them, things that are totally irrelevant to one's ability to actually do the job in question, things like "do you think you could sell this paper clip to me?" when you're applying for a job as a secretary.
I present the following contribution made by an unregistered poster simply known as "answers". If you ever get a stupid question at a job interview again, here are some things you can use. This is part 1, because I expect it will be an ongoing series. If anyone actually reads this and has some contributions of their own, feel free to add them -- you might even get to see your name up in lights (or HTML).

Because your 'manhole' is round big boy!
