One of the funniest shows on the radio is Punt & Dennis's "It's been a bad week" on Radio 2. This week's edition has been a goldmine of excellent stories, including this one:

17 year old Greg Bulmarsh applied for a job at his local McDonalds restaurant. This is his application form:

NAME: Greg Bulmarsh

SEX: Not yet. Still waiting for the right person.

DESIRED POSITION: Company's President or Vice President. But seriousley, whatevers available. If i was in a position to be picky, i wouldn't be applying here in the first place.

DESIRED SALARY: $185000 a year plus stock options and a Michael Ovits style severance package. If thats not possible, make an offer and we can haggle.

MAY WE CONTACT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER?: If I had one, would i be here?

DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT YOU FROM LIFTING UP TO 50 LBS?: Of what?

DO YOU SMOKE?: On the job no, on my breaks yes.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS TIME?: living in the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy dumb sexy blond model who thinks I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually I'd like to be doing that now.
