	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!) __________________ Whiskey, women -- and astrophysics. Because sometimes a problem can't be solved with just whiskey and women.

	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... __________________ Whiskey, women -- and astrophysics. Because sometimes a problem can't be solved with just whiskey and women.

	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."
