Not sure why, but I attended this peculiar interviewing session. Okay, it was out of curiosity (and the fact that if someone wants to pay me to have fun with a ton of strangers, I'm in!)
One of the employees tried to get our small group chatting by asking weird questions like 'if you could be a food item, what would you be?' She didn't get much response with that, so I jumped in with another (hopefully) conversation-starter:
A while back, friends of mine used to hold 'come-as-your-favorite-celebrity parties. You could be anyone, alive or dead...even a character. So one of my friends came as...well, I'll let you guess.
He had dark hair with about a day's growth of beard. He wore a red velour bath robe, black cowboy boots and a straw cowboy hat. Can you guess who he was??
Hawkeye Pierce (from M*A*S*H)!!
Complete silence. Blank looks.
Oh, did I mention there wasn't a single person in the room over 30 years old!?!?! I've never felt so old in MY LIFE!!!
