Well, there was this one time...
There were two companies, let's call them X and Y.

Company X was a small, efficiently run with highly competent people working for them.

Company Y was staffed by pig-ignorant morons with the social skills of a dead warthog and management who couldn't find their own arses with a map, both hands and a compass.

After many months of trying, a position came up at company X and I applied and attended the interview.

Nice offices, offered a cup of tea and the usual routine of questioning begins. This all goes well and the HR bod is called in for the final part.

HR bod: "So, what do you feel you can offer company Y?"

Me: "Er...Isn't this company X?"

HR: "Only for the next week or so, that's why we're recruiting - for when everyone cashes in their shares and leaves."

Me: (Stunned silence) "I wouldn't work for company Y if my own mother was starving and I needed the job to buy food. I would rather staple my tounge to the bumper of a car and be dragged naked across a field of broken glass. Good day to you."
