So I applied for this job that I am totally unqualified for. If they call me for an interview I am

going to refuse to go. The people in the office seem to like me - we go hunting together or watch our kids play hockey sometimes. It's all about who you know. They totally think I would be a, "Rockstar" in the office. OMG that would be too cool. Some other joker is applying for the spot too. He's been in the same dead end job for decades. And that a-hole wasted so much time and money on grad school it makes me laugh. So what if he can beat me at Jeopardy. I'm a Wheel of Fortune kinda guy anway.

1. That makes perfect sense...

NOT!

[Tangerine LaBamba]

2. That's dumb

Refusing to go. Why apply if you don't want the job?

Rockstar? Sounds like you're setting yourself up to be a has-been before you even start.

So, why did you apply?

[Kali]

3. are you serious?

[JohnnyBoots]

4. Dude, it is an abstract comparison of Palin and Biden. I thought it would be more obvious.My bad nt

10. Really?

Without context, it just doesn't fly.

17. Would it helped if he'd specified he hunted moose and wolves?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

21. Probably not

That line about "If they call me for an interview, I'm going to refuse to go" made no sense. As some some of work of comedy or an inanely stretched attempt at metaphor, it fails.

I did note, though, that all the posts claiming to "get it" were posted after another DUer and I registered our confusion and the OP explained it. That's very funny.

So, it's true, huh? Dying is easy, but comedy is hard.

22. That line about "If they call me for an interview, I'm going to refuse to go" made no sense.

I basically meant that she wants to be VP, yet she refusing to see the press. In my mind, press interviews and the Sunday shows serve as a national interview with prospective candidates.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

23. I see what you were aiming for,

but here's why it made no sense:

the press are not her prospective employers. That's what confused me. It went just far enough astray to confuse what you were trying to do.

Nice idea, though. You did good.

5. Ask Mrs. Palin n/t

6. Some people aren't getting it, but I like your analogy.

[Regret My New Name]

11. NO!!

[barbtries]

7. ladies and jellybeans

the NEXT vice president of the united states of absurdity!

9. Unlike most who will post a reply to this - I get it.

I do the same thing all the time. Usually I go to the interviews though, and I just make up crazy shit that they know I'm making up. Like telling the interviewer I'm a level 420000 mage on world of warcraft.... I mean come on, everyone knows that doesn't actually exist. Or that I was the first woman vice president....

[firedupdem]

14. I got it and thought it was a great analogy...

[liberal N proud]

12. There is always sexism to fall back on

If they keep asking you to come in for the interview, just claim they are being sexist.

[driver8]

13. I got it -- good job!

How do you look in a short skirt?

[JohnnyBoots]

15. Ha. I am a male 6'3" 250 Rugby player. Not a very pretty sight in a skirt.

[driver8]

20. That's ok -- work on it... great post, btw. n/t

[beac]

16. Be sure to tell them your gonna need a LOT of earmarks to

cover your commuting expenses. And don't forget to mention that you are an A++++++++ ebayer!

18. sarah did it - anyone unqualified can rise to the top n/t

[TahitiNut]

19. That other guy had to be persuaded to take his current junior position instead of ...

... caring for his kids full-time. What a tool, huh? The idiot even commuted 3-4 hours during the days he has to show up at the office so he can live at home with his kids! Sheesh! Any fool can find stooges to babysit for minimum wage!!

(But NOBODY would EVER ask that of a man, would they? No. Of course not.)
