Any HR people here?

Do you ever test perspective employees with a test that might ask, how do yo brush your teeth or how do you make a peanut butter sandwich?

my friend got the dreaded "tell me a joke" at an interview.

it's bad because it is straight out of left field and you really don't prepare to tell jokes so it shows your true colors.
my friend told the joke:
so, a guy and his girlfriend are having dinner together when the girl looks at her b/f and asks, "what's a pedophile?" the b/f continues eating and says, "my that's a big word for a 12 year old."

I don't ask people questions like that but it might make sense when hiring for certain positions.

he should have gone with this one: a pirate walks into the bar with a steering wheel on his crotch, he sits down and the bartender asks, whats that steering wheel doing down there? and the pirate says, ARGH! They're driving me nuts!

 

When i interviewed my current boss (yes, i chose him)
I asked him what kind of beer he liked and what he liked on his pizza
I also asked whether he preferred gas or charcoal for grilling.
