LOL! :D

Ask who they reckon the fittest bird is in the office....even if the interviewer is female.

Ask what the salary is as an opening question...that way if it's too low you can use the interview time to do something else...go for a run...get a soda etc :p

What line of work is the company in? If the job you are applying is anything higher than retail clerk, I would go ahead and do as much as to find some of the financial statements for the company, see how well they are doing - if you can get hold of a prospectus, find out how their operations are doing in your region and state. Let them know exactly what you can do to improve performance or, if necessary, help effect a turn-around.

"What are the opportunities for advancement?"

what are some things you shouldnt do at an interview?
"Be disrespectful?"

I know the above sounds obvious, but I am amazed at the attitudes I see in the younger generations. And to top it all off, they think that they are "all that plus some."

I've read a couple of stories about amazing things people have done at interviews, so add these to your list of "don'ts".

Bring donuts and eat them, or announce you haven't had lunch then eat fast food out of a paper bag.
Answer your cell phone or pager.
Stretch out on the floor to fill out the application.
Wear a Walkman, and tell the interviewer you can listen to him/her and the music at the same time.
Ask to see the interviewer's resume to decide if he/she is qualified to judge you.
Ask to use the phone in the middle of the interview to call your therapist for advice on how to answer questions.
Take a photo of the interviewer.
