If you’re a Bond fan, you might enjoy this. I haven’t seen the newest 007 movie, but thought I’d have a little fun with the Bond buzz.
After placing my super-secret spy listening device in an interview room, I overheard this conversation…
“Hi, thank you for coming in for an interview. My name is Mr. Big.”
“The name is Bond. James Bond. I’ll call you B. Here’s my résumé. It’s for your eyes only.”
“Uh, thanks. Nice tuxedo, by the way. Please have a seat and… what are you doing?”
“Just repositioning the chair. I never sit with my back to the door.”
“Okay… Well, can I offer you something to drink before we get started? Water or…”
“I’ll have a martini. Shaken, not stirred.”
“Very funny. Let’s begin. Why don’t you tell me a little about yourself, Mr. Bond?”
“I travel a lot. I’m a sort of problem eliminator… a trouble shooter. I speak a variety of languages, including German, French, Russian and Japanese. I have a practical knowledge of Judo and other martial arts. I’ve served in the Royal Navy, where I obtained the rank of Commander before joining Her Majesty’s Secret Service. I have a fondness for high-tech gadgets and fast cars. And I can withstand brutal torture without divulging classified information.”
“Hmmm. Amazing. You’ve covered your strengths; what’s your greatest weakness?”
“Femme fatales. I can never resist a beautiful woman, even when I know she wants to kill me. But don’t tell my enemies that. If you do, I’ll have to kill you.”
“Sure.”
“Seriously. I’m licensed to kill. I can’t tell you how many egomaniacal people bent on world domination I’ve had to eliminate.”
“Yeah, right. And it doesn’t bother you? Killing all those people?”
“Well, I wouldn’t be very good at my job if it did.”
“Okay, well, I don’t think we need someone with your, uh, skills, Mr. Bond. The job of ticket agent doesn’t requiring any killing.”
“Ticket agent? I thought the job was… well, never mind. My apologies. I’ll show myself out.”
“It was quite fascinating talking with you, Mr. Bond. I’m sure there’s an employer somewhere who’d give the world for a man of your unique talents.”
“The world is not enough.”
