    Yeah, just take the piss out of their questions. By trying to sound sincere while adding some humour to it :)

    I'd say that's what they are looking for as you writing the above means you've got a bit of perzaz about you rather than being a boring person with no life.

    Re: Job application

    These job application forms have been created by morons who clearly haven't got anything better to do with their time. These questions are so utterly stupid that if any potential employer dares ask them to me, I'm going to walk out of the interview or refuse to fill in the form. These questions have nothing to do with the job, so find something else.

    1. My favourite dinosaur is Barney. He is an example to dinosaurs everywhere. He's kind and giving and always has a big grin. He also seems to have a wide circle of friends - a different set every time I see him! He's also one of the hippest dino's around - that shade of purple is SO this season.
    2. I have reason to believe that jam is normal, nice fruit that has been chewed up by the devil and spat back out into jam jars. Jam is not nice. It's used be old ladies to sugar people up and to keep their elderly husbands from permenantly slipping into a coma of boredom as their wives tell them about next door's cat for the twenty-third time that morning. Therefore, on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rate jam as 1.
    3. I don't read magazines - I can't afford to. If I am successful in gaining this position, I would be able to afford to read them. I would like to start off somewhere small, say with Beano. From there I hope that one day, with the help and support of friends, I can finally work my way up to Cosmopolitan.

    I wouldnt go for it, sounds like the kind of work enviroment people involved describe as 'cray-zee' and say things like 'we're wacky here we are'.
