a mate got this letter from a freind... it was sent in to a job application their company was running...  






I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice with my bare hands. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch hours, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I write award winning operas. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I can cook minute rice in 30 seconds. I am an expert in wood panel installation and an outlaw in Peru.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless loan shark. Critics world-wide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and won the concert tickets. Last summer I toured Delaware with a roving troupe of mimes. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. People trust me.

I was scouted by the Mets. I am a subject of several documentaries. I enjoy urban hang gliding, naked mountain climbing, and running marathons backwards. I paint, juggle, and routinely compete in professional wrestling matches. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I once read War and Peace, Moby Dick and Great Expectations all in once day. I sleep once a week; when I do, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Africa, I successfully negotiated a peace between warring tribes. I have won bullfights in Spain, cliff diving competitions in Sri Lanka and spelling bees at the Kremllin. I know where Jimmy Hoffa is and have spoken to Elvis.

But I have not yet worked for your company.

That one's been around a while. I think someone read that at my high school graduation 6 years ago. I wonder if dude got the job (he should for all the fame he's garnered)

What does CV stand for by the way? Yanks call them resumes.

Reminds me of a Colorblind James Experience tune - Quite a guy, where he buys a trunk and it has a diary in it

"Invented the phonograph with a gasoline engine"

Top band really - if you like your country oompah - check out "A different Bob"

CV = Curriculum Vitae

Which means Life's Race (roughly):

curriculum: running; a contest in running , race; raceground, course, lap; a racing chariot.

Vita: Life.
