| The Weirdest Job Application No joke, guys, these are some questions from my job application to Pyramid Comics and Games. Seriously. My gender I claim to be is: Male Female My real gender is: Male Female Other a bit of both I have the proper height/weight ratio for: a. The average human of my age and gender b. A washer and dryer set c. Ireland d. My gelatinous mass cannot be measured for I am an ever-shifting entity e. I cannot be measured for I am God The best type of pet is: a. Dog b. Cat c. Toaster (don't ask) d. Snakes, reptiles, and anything that is long and slimy e. An orangutan, p***ing in its hand and throwing it h. Furbee Are you Canadian? Yes No Do you always wear underwear? Yes No Even in the shower? Yes No Do you carry condoms? Yes No Has m*******tion lost its fun yet? Yes No Canada is a place: North, South, East, West, Far Far Away? Would you rather sell your Body or Soul? Do you think anybody is watching you? I like to have my partner "treat me badly". True False Sometimes Have you ever done something completely disgusting like going to Canada just because someone paid you? Yes No Stan Lee is___________________ Bruce Lee is_________________ Jim Lee is___________________ Then on the back, there's a bunch of "legal" stuff in really tiny print, but at the top of the page it says: Instead of filling out all of the form you can just fill in part one and answer the questions numbered 47, 52, 62, and last question. When turning in this application let us know you followed the directions by saying "I like pie!" THEN, at the very bottom of all the tiny print "legal" stuff, it says: We just wanted to see if you were paying attention and if you are now you must fill out the entire application, and yes this is a psychological test so if you have given answers that you think we want to hear you will fail the test and look like an ass kicking, boot licking, brown nosing, butt weasel. So just fill out the application honestly and don't worry, be happy! By the way, the proper answer to number 33 is pie, and 13, 32, 46, and 60 should be left blank. The blank ones were ones about your religious our political beliefs. Isn't that crazy?

| Did it say clearly at the top of the page "Read completely before filling out"? If the instructions aren't completely explained to the applicant, there could be legal implications.

| Here's what it says at the very top of the first page: All questions are asked in jest and in no way reflect your chances of gaining employment at Pyramid Comics and Games. Really we mean it. Chill out and enjoy, by the way you need to read the entire application before starting.

| I especially like all the Canadian questions! ![]() For the big comic book store in Denver, you have to take a comic trivia test and achieve a certain score to gain employment. Only two people, in the twenty odd year of the store's history, have ever gotten 100%! I don't know if you would want to get 100% though, not really a bragging right to anyone outside of the comics universe! ![]() |

| I love it. I think they're looking for a sense of humor, more than any specific answer. If you get all wound-up about such questions, that probably tells them you won't be laid-back enough to be fun to work with. It's certainly more fun than questions like, "When was the last time you found a solution to a problem in your team, and what was it?"
