3. "Before we put you forward to the client, its company policy to ask you for two forms of ID, your company details, passport, driving license number, bank account details and approximate size of your penis."
My stock answers to these questions are:
1. <insert CEOs name + direct line from the internal directory>
2. Well another agency on their PSL has just spoken to me about this and is willing to put me forward at <rate i would accept> + 20%
3. Don't have a passport. Never needed one, never travelled abroad.
Don't have a driving license. Never needed one, never learnt to drive.

I add it in so that they know my huge rate is just me over-compensating.
