Interviews

We have a friend who came into town today. Jim is a doctor interviewing for match day. He had my husband helping him practice interviewing. It got us discussing some of the strange questions you get asked in interviews. One question we discussed was "If you could invite three people to dinner, dead or alive, who would it be?" We discussed what would be the most appropriate answer to such a question before diving into the realm of silly. My husband, being the man he is, said he would say people like Stalin. Another answer was, "Your mama!" Anyway, we had a great ime and it got me thinking. What is the dumbest interview question you have ever been asked. And what on earth do poeple expect to learn about you from asking such crazy questions?
