I liked this one: "My interests include cooking dogs and interesting people".

It reminds me of a T-shirt I saw that said:

Let's eat Grandma .... Let's eat, Grandma

(Punctuation saves lives!)

Honest to goodness, I'm not making this up... swear to god!:

To give you some idea of the sort of knowledge I possess, Please use this link to view a site I like to offer advice on.

http://cr4.globalspec.com/

my name on this site is XXXXXXX

CR4 member XXXX is inactive, but I don't think it's fair to publish the name.

Wow. Let the speculating begin. (Or should I say, let's get this party started.) The name of one inactive person immediately comes to mind...

I liked this one: SIZE OF EMPLOYER: "Very tall, probably over 6'5″."

I do the recruiting and hiring for the team I manage outside of CR4. I definitely see some interesting things on resumes. My favorite thing was at an interview with a lackluster individual who, when asked why he wanted this particular job, said, "to make money."
