Happy Birthday
A lady goes for a job interview in an
office. The interviewer decides to start with the basics. "So, miss, can you
tell us your age, please?"
The lady counts carefully on her fingers for about 30 seconds before replying "Ehhhh
.. 22!".
The interviewer looks at her a little puzzled and then tries another
straightforward one to break the ice. "And can you tell us your height,
please?".
The young lady stands up and produces a measuring tape from her handbag. She
then traps one end under her foot and extends the tape to the top of her head.
She checks the measurement and announces "Five foot two!"
This isn't looking good so the interviewer goes for the real basics. "And ehh,
just to confirm for our records, your name
please?"
The lady bobs her head from side to side for about twenty seconds, mouthing
something silently to herself, before replying "Mandy!".
The interviewer is completely baffled at this stage, so he asks, "Just out of
curiosity, miss. We can understand your counting on your fingers to work out
your age, and the measuring tape for your height is obvious, but what were you
doing when we asked you your name?"
"Ohh that!", she replies, "That's just me running through, 'Happy birthday to
you, happy birthday to you....' ."
