Tomfoolery & Ballyhoo

• Don't create silly euphamisms.

Me: "And why did you leave your last sales position?"
Guy: "Well, it started to not be profitable anymore."
Me: "It started to not be profitable?"
Guy: "You know...I started to not receive as much income."

Oh- no, no, no. I wasn't having a hard time understanding what "profitable" meant. I was having a hard time absorbing the fact that you were trying to come up with a cute way to tell me you couldn't sell donuts to a fat kid. You sucking at your job is not the same as your job sucking.

Thanks for glazing over the truth. I'm just not into hiring you.
