re: #183 zombie

A couple days ago I was being interviewed by some big media mucky-muck. The sound guy wanted us to do a sound check — “Both of you say something, just ask a random question; I want to set the levels.” So the big media mucky-muck, off the top of his head, asked what he thought was the easiest possible question, that would require no thinking to come up with the “correct” answer. He asked me, “Who did you vote for president in November? Ha ha.”

I just couldn’t bring myself to lie, so I said, “We still have a private ballots in this country!”

Boy, was he taken aback! I think I was the first person who didn’t answer, “BARACK!” and then slap him a high-five.

They really looked askance at me after that. But, luckily, the interview went OK anyway.

Were you being interviewed as “zombie” or your secret identity?
