I had an interview at a metal recycling plant today. I have always loved metals.
99 percent of all metal recycling is your basic metals...steel, copper, aluminum etc.
The remaining 1 percent deals with silver from solders and circuit boards, gold from circuit boards and platinum from catalitic converters in cars.
Metal recycling plants have to deal with theives breaking in at night and employee theft.
I collect coins and jewelry so I am really into precious metals. (safe deposit box)

So the interview is going good and it looks like I got the job and at the end he asks if I have any questions.
Me being an IDIOT I ask...

"Do you get a lot of precious metals coming through here?"

Quite possibly the worst question I could have asked.
I don't expect them to call me.

I applied to an escort service in my 20's and the dude said I would have to service both females and males.
It was bad enough thinking I would have to service fat chicks so I had to decline because the cost of the drugs to go gay for pay would exceed my income at the escort company.

Sounds good.
I propose we ban Suzianne because she denied my membership request to her clan the Misfits.

Sometime you should ask Dive what he had to do to get into Metallica.

I had an average chess rating which fitted a gap in the Metallica team ratings. The leader wanted a player who despite having a relatively low rating was a tenacious player and principled character. I guess I fitted the bill, so to speak.

That and the monthly clan fee I have to pay.

We took a vote on your application and decided unanimously that you were a cauliflower.

Can we have a Definition for "principled character"?
