NEED A JOB? CALL 1-800 WE HIRE U

(1/3 reworked post from 2012, 2/3 new = 1 long post.)

This reportedly is an actual job application a 17-year-old boy submitted at a McDonald's fast-food establishment in Florida...and they hired him because he was so honest and funny! 

NAME: Greg B. (Name withheld to protect the guilty) 

SEX: Not yet. 

DESIRED POSITION: Company's President or Vice President. But seriously, whatever's available. If I was in a position to be picky, I wouldn't be applying here in the first place. 

DESIRED SALARY: $185,000 a year plus stock options and a Michael Ovitz style severance package. If that's not possible, make an offer and we can haggle. 

EDUCATION: Yes. 

LAST POSITION HELD: Target for middle management hostility. 

SALARY: Less than I'm worth. 

MOST NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT: My incredible collection of stolen pens and post-it notes. 

REASON FOR LEAVING: I hated it. 

HOURS AVAILABLE TO WORK: Any. 

PREFERRED HOURS: 1:30-3:30 p.m., Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. 

MAY WE CONTACT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER?: If I had one, would I be here? 

DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT YOU FROM LIFTING UP TO 50 LBS?: Of what? 

DO YOU HAVE A CAR?: I think the more appropriate question here would be "Do you have a car that runs?" 

HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY SPECIAL AWARDS OR RECOGNITION?: I may already be a winner of the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. 

DO YOU SMOKE?: On the job no, on my breaks yes. 

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS?: Living in the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy dumb sexy blonde super model who thinks I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually, I'd like to be doing that now. 

DO YOU CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND COMPLETE TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE?: Yes. Absolutely. 

SIGN HERE: Aries.

Dog needs new job:

My sister-in-law, a truck driver, had decided to get a dog for protection. As she inspected a likely candidate, the trainer told her, "He doesn't like men." 

"Perfect," my sister-in-law thought and took the dog. 

Then one day she was approached by two men in a parking lot, and she watched to see how her canine bodyguard would react. Soon it became clear the trainer wasn't kidding. As the men got closer, the dog ran under the nearest car.

Writer gets ideal job:

Once upon a time there was a young man who wanted to become a great writer. "I want to write things the whole world will read," he declared. 

"Stuff that will elicit strong emotions from people in every walk of life. I want my writing to make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger." 

He now lives happily ever after in Redmond, Wash., writing error messages for Microsoft.

Here's a story about a woman who desperately needs a job--& a business manager:

An elderly couple were discussing the dire strait of their financial situation.  

Him: "You're gonna have to get a job!"

Her:  "I should get a job?  What could I do?"

Him:  "You could be a whore."

Her:  "I could be a whore?"

Him:  "You could try."

Her:  "I'll try."

The next evening she comes home, totally exhausted & looking like something the cat dragged in.

Him:  'So, how'd you do?"

Her:  "Okay--I made $13.10."

Him:  "$13.10!  Who gave you the 10 cents?"

Her:  "EVERYBODY gave me 10 cents!!"

At long last the good-humored boss was compelled to call Fisk into his office. "It has not escaped my attention," he pointed out, "that every time there's a home game at the stadium you have to take your aunt to the doctor." 

"You know you're right, sir," exclaimed Fisk. "I didn't realize it. You don't suppose she's faking it, do you?"

Fresh out of business school, the young man answered a want ad for an accountant. Now he was being interviewed by a very nervous man who ran a small business that he had started himself. 

"I need someone with an accounting degree," the man said. "But mainly, I'm looking for someone to do my worrying for me." 

"Excuse me?" the accountant said. 

"I worry about a lot of things," the man said. "But I don't want to have to worry about money. Your job will be to take all the money worries off my back." 

"I see," the accountant said. "And how much does the job pay?" 

"I'll start you at eighty thousand." 

"Eighty thousand dollars!" the accountant exclaimed. "How can such a small business afford a sum like that?" 

"That," the owner said, "is your first worry."

Some people even I wouldn't hire:

The idiot who put this notice up:

Her:

Or this racist at Starbucks:
