Hilarious interview sketch

[snousle]

Who was it that once posted about a bizarre job interview involving questions about debugging a video driver, in which the interviewer was more or less insane?

This link is for you. Along with everyone else that has suffered through the preciousness of "lateral thinking" questions.

RPF: Can I assume that the lights and the switches are correctly wired according to the National Electric Code of the United States? That is, that the switches interrupt the hots, not the neutrals...

Truth: Over at the station we work for, which was wired by non-approved Mexican labour, all the light switches are wired backwards: They switch the neutral, leaving the hot wire exposed at the socket.

I learned this the hard way one afternoon.
