@Mr.M: how much did that sales job pay? Were you looking to get out of teaching at the time?

@Mr.M:
In Roman times, a conquering general was allowed a “triumph”, a parade though the streets of Rome, but Caesar commanded that a slave was required to stand next to the general in his chariot continuously whispering into his ear “Sic transit gloria mundi”.

we've got plenty of dodgy builders in Oz too. lot's of contractors work for no money for months being led on by promises of pmts only to find that the builder goes broke. not great!

did you have to explain what part of the elephant you were washing?

Gotta say, in my past Management life, I gave hundreds of interviews and asking an applicant to wash a herd of imaginary elephants never crossed my mind. Don't know if I would have hired someone that actually talked to them. lol

I knew someone whom had went for an interview to get into Annapolis as a Cadet. He said he was put in a room with a 10 foot high bar and told to climb up and stay there as long as he could and was left alone with no further directions. He didn't know how long he actually stayed up but evidently it was long enough because he was accepted. He decided not to go and went to Mich St.

of course.

that reminds me of the time I was in Calcutta and I went to a sandwich shop that had a sign 'we can make you any sandwich you want or we give you a free hat'. I ordered elephants balls on toast but they couldn't make it for me because the toaster was broken.
