Default Re: Retarded interview question

"What kind of plant would you be and why?"

"Well, when I was on law review there was some disagreement amongst all of the staff about whether or not we should publish a particular article. I negotiated a solution by offering the people who objected to the publication of this article the opportunity to over-rule decisions on a different article in the future."

Robert McNamara's first rule of interviews: Don't answer the question you were asked. Answer the question you wish you were asked.
