“Concession” booth.

I don’t think it’d take five years for him to be in prison.

Where do I see myself in five years? The same place I do now… in a mirror.

Sitting here reading the comics.

It the most stoopidly dumb question asking in interview. What is me some sortsa soothsayer or sometheeng to looks into crystal ball and says where me be after five years?

Interviewing for Hillary’s bodyguard?

lmao

Wow! That was some serious Situational Reasoning Abilities!

… you’re hired!

I think I might use that instead of my answer:

A retired lottery winner

To answer that question when I was 22 would have been nothing but BS. Answering that question today, fifty years later, saying “If I’m not feeding the worms I’ll be reading GoComics.” is only being truthful.

the guy’s management material…

Sometimes it’s best to not be so truthful. That’s especially true if you’re speaking the human weasel in HR

I was asked that at an interview about 20 years ago. I started laughing and said “who knows, if you had asked me that 5 years ago, it would NOT have been sitting here with you needing a job”. He said “fair enough” and offered me the job.

So he told him where he would see himself in five years (in prison).

He’s now obligated to kill him (if he’s true to his word).

Sincerity goes a long way. Especially if the prison is far!

My priorities of the day are: 1. Go Comics, 2. Jumble and 3. Rest and relax for the rest of the day.

You’re hired! Go to work immediately in our Legal Department! Mr. Trump, we have our Man!!

My entire life is summed up in one comic. :)

Where do I see myself in 5 years? Hopefully in a job where they won’t ask me inane questions like “Where do I see myself in 5 years?”. So, did I get the job?

Instead of selling concrete, he’ll be in a concrete cell.

Sometimes a little white lie is more appropriate.

Another response that was sure to get him hired would be “Your seat”.

Hmm, seems like a Catch 22.

“Bermuda, maybe — IF my embezzlement plans work out.”
