"What is your greatest weakness?" "Kryptonite"

(Seriously though - a friend was asked this, he used that answer, and the interviewer didn't laugh. Big sign)

I did that during an interview for a power company in 2002. I had decided already that I had zero interest in working for them, so I figured I might as well have fun with it.

There was nervous laughter from his side of the table.

Does this blogger actually think his post among the thousands on the web complaining about this question has anything novel or insightful to offer? What a waste of time.

Worst, it isn't even his post. It's a direct copy and paste of someone else's without even the decency to google to credit the original source.
