Subject: A test for professionals

Written By: CatwomanofV on 02/09/03 at 07:58 p.m.


A short Quiz.  Good Luck...


The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you
whether you are qualified to be a "professional." Scroll down for
each answer. The questions are NOT that difficult. Try not to look
at the answers below until you have thought about it awhile.


1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?











The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and
close
the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an

overly complicated way.




2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?











Did you say, "Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the
refrigerator?" (Wrong Answer)
Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the
elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through
the
repercussions of your previous actions.



3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend

except one. Which animal does not attend?












Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator.
You just put him in there. This tests your memory.


OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you
still have one more chance to show your true abilities.



4. There is a river you must cross but it is inhabited by crocodiles.
How do you manage it?













Correct Answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the
Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.


According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the
professionals
they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several
correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves
the
theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

I got the last two right, but only after I got bitten by the first two.  :)

<cough> *hack*  (sprays monitor with Coca-cola, which has sprayed out through my nose)  BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

~Gets laughter under control.~

--Wipes tears from eyes--

<takes another sip from can of Coke>

**OH-OH!!  Along comes a rampaging hoard of GIGGLES.  They attack me all at once.**

I can't control myself, and I spray the monitor with even more Coke.  (maybe this is why it hasn't been running right? :-/  Nah... ::) )

Oh Cat, after they day I've had, I really, really needed that.  Thank you.


BTW, I failed miserably.  I got the third one right, but I forgot all my lessons and blanked on the fourth question.

Hee hee hee hee....

(the giggles aren't leaving me anytime soon.)

Use the bridge.  It's more sensible than swimming across a river, irrespective of how many crocodiles aren't there.

Believe it or not, my dad sent that to me. I guess we all know where I got my warped sense of humor.  ;)
