I took an Intro Psych class in college and on day one of class, the professor taught us the most important lesson in the field of psychology.... "Psychology is a SOFT SCIENCE. Human beings attempt to bring rational constants and scientifically deduced theories into the realm of free-will and choice that is the human mind and it simply CANNOT BE DONE!"

Here is one I asked a great Captain at Alaska, whereupon he just stared at me. Silly boy.
Caveat: not an original question.
Will an airplane weigh less if half the people on it go to the lavatory and pee?
I agree with you, Cubdriver, in the answer I will give to an employer stupid enough to ask me such stupid questions.

Maybe I am too hard headed.
Questions like this sound way too much like "admit it, my pen1s is much larger than your pen1s. Admit it, or be passed over"
It is a bit like "one must wear a certain suit and tie to be hired here". I understand I need to wear a proper business suit since this IS a conservative industry, but my tie is my way of expressing myself in a conservative environment. I don't go for a Jerry Garcia at an interview (though he has produced some attractive ties), but I DO like to show my taste and personality. If that doesn't conform enough, I don't think I want to work there.
