well, at least you didn't say you were going to sue them because you fell on their property. : /

i don't think that's a place you'd want to work anyway. they sound stuffy.

haha oh my wow, yeah you would definitely be a risk. Anyone who doesn't have the filter to not tell a BJ joke at an interview doesn't have the filter to not tell customers (or other employees) something that would get the company in deep trouble.

I'm not sure... it's almost like it was so blatantly not a smart thing to say that it might have come across better than some of the less outrageous things I've seen. I was dining out recently and there was a "post interview" dinner happening at the next table. Both the interviewers and interviewee said at least a dozen things between them that no one should ever say at an interview because they look like morons for doing so.

Examples:

Interviewer: [This company uses a weird custom development platform - he's explaining the "benefit" here]: The great thing about [in-bred language they use] is that we can actually go into the database and look at the data!

Interviewer: We have flexible hours here. So if you like to go to sleep late you can come in later and just leave at 6 or 7. When do you like to sleep?
Candidate: I don't really sleep. I go to bed at 2 and wake up at 5.

(awesome double, possible triple example)
Interviewer: Another nice thing is that we have great people who work together to help each other. It's very unusual. Do you like working in that way?
Candidate: Yeah, things are like that at my frat house.
Interviewer: Oh, you are in a fraternity? What are those like?

Interviewer: As a programmer, you'll like working here. We use a full system development lifecycle here. For a 6 month project, we will rarely spend more than 2 days writing code, so it's very efficient.

Interviewer: I used to work for Anderson Consulting. Things are a lot different here. Here, when a developer is done coding, we actually have a formal testing process. I've never seen that anywhere else.

You are actually equating post-interview dinner banter with telling a BJ joke in front of a panel at the interview?

I would hire you on the spot. Anyone who has the balls to tell a blowjob joke at a job interview is destined for great things.

You guys need to be the next hiring managers I meet

Given my penchant for casual swearing and my inability to take anything seriously, I'm confident I'll never be a hiring manager anywhere. But if I was, I would give preferential treatment to candidates who told "inappropriate" jokes during the interview. If the entire interview passed without a dirty joke, I would say, "Thank you very much for your time. And by the way, what the fuck, man? I mean, I was throwing you some easy set-ups and you didn't bite at one of them! 'Tell me about your previous positions?' How could you miss that?! I'm sorry, you're just not the type of candidate we're looking for. Security is already on their way, I suggest you start running."

Humor is serious business.

Yep, exactly why you will never be a hiring manager.
