The Interview


Mary and Jacob went through their first interview today to deliver a free, weekly paper called The Advertiser. Although I'm prejudice, I have to say Jacob looked dazzlingly handsome with his hair slicked back, sport coat, tie and shined shoes. Mary was so nervous she almost backed out of the interview (that is, until Jacob told her he would land the job and hire her under him and pay her a quarter). On the way I quizzed them on what they were expecting. They were convinced the interviewer would be a grumpy old fat man with a big beard. As it turned out, he was in his 20's and he wore a sweatshirt and a large earring in his ear. He lectured us for over 45 minutes on paper delivery etiquette while Mary and Jacob's heads slowly sank back into their chairs and their eyes glazed over. I kept kicking them under the table to get them to sit up straight. While questioning them later, I think they amazingly remembered everything. When we left the building, they hooted and hollered for joy. They will now be pulling down $3 per week a piece - Watch out Warren Buffet. -Drew
