      A former colleague got asked something like "How many taxi companies are there operating in Nottingham?" when applying for a job as a BA once.
      If you find this post offensive, please insert "Chan" before and "tho" after, then it should be OK.

        Very similar to the "number of blind piano tuners in New York" question.

        It's a good question imho.

          Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do" in a gloomy manner to Pooh.
          "And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
          Eeyore shook his head from side to side. "Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to felt at all how for a long time."

                Why should we hire you?

                Because I work hard, and I'm a really nice guy....

                  IT manager in a place in Leeds was interviewing a year or so ago for a secretary. According to the CVs, there was only one choice but he had to go through the motions so he interviewed two candidates.

                  He hired the busty blonde rather than the obvious middle aged experienced bird

                    "What are your salary expectations?"

                    and re. my 8080 assembler experience "What brand of computers were you assembling?"


                    "How would you go about designing a home central heating system?"
