This reminds me of a funny story I heard yesterday from a friend:
His parents were bugging him to get a job when he was around 14.
Being a 14 yr old kid, he wasn't really interested in working, so his mom
went around the neighborhood filling out applications for him. She got
him an interview at a KFC, so on the day of the interview, my friend thought
he could sabotage her efforts by getting drunk. When she picked him up to
go to the interview, she was extremely pissed, but made him go anyway.
When they got to the KFC, his mom made him just sit in the background
while she did all the talking. He got the job.
