            "What's been the most embarrassing moment in your life?" - asked for permie role many moons ago.

            "Do you know how to use an editor?" - asked for contract developer role.

              Not exactly a question but, in an interview for an engineering company in Manchester back in 1990:

              "Oh yes, I remember, I picked you for interview because you'd typed out your application form, instead of handwriting it... let's see. Oh quite unsuitable..."

              The paid my travel expenses though, they did in those days.
              Cooking doesn't get tougher than this.

                On the other side my favourite question to attractive new girlies is to ask them if they have ever slept with their boss.
