If you have some free time and want a good laugh...

Fill out an application for Hollywood Video or Staples (if you want to try it out, you can use store #0434).

After recently reading Eats, Shoots & Leaves, some of the questions made us laugh hysterically for minutes on end,

For example, this question really should have a hyphen between "shoving" and "matches" because the way its broken up is just too easy to misinterpret...

In the past 2 years, how many times have you been involved in shoving
matches or fistfights with your co-workers?

• Never
  
• 1 time
  
• 2 times
  
• 3 times
  
• 4 times
  
• 5 times

And, of course, on the heels of the one above, we had to figure out if this one was about a fat store-owner or the owner of a prosperous business...

If you were a large store owner and you found out that an employee had stolen merchandise from you, would you fire him if the total amount taken was worth less than:

• $5.00 in one year?
  
• $10.00 in one year?
  
• $25.00 in one year?

Other questions just kind of gave you a general feeling of WTF?!

What is the total value of merchandise and/or cash you have taken without authorization from all your employers in the past five years?

• $0
  
• Less than $10.00
  
• Between $10.00 and $25.00
  
• Between $25.01 and $100.00
  
• Between $100.01 and $500.00
  
• Between $500.01 and $1,000.00
  
• More than $1,000.00

This is even better than mad libs. Really.

I wonder how many people don't answer "$0" for the last question? ^________^
