Cupid's Job Interview

Interviewer: So, …ah…Mr. Cupid, is it? Can you tell me about your previous work experience?

Cupid: I worked in matchmaking.

Interviewer: Great industry. Can’t believe how it has grown. What site? Match.com? E-Harmony?

Cupid: All of the above… I’ve also worked in bars, book stores, college dorms, around office water coolers, and across many a crowded room.

Interviewer: Great, great…I like versatility in work experience. And what would you say are your strongest work skills?

Cupid: I excel at targeting my goal. I am a bit of a sharp shooter, really. I almost never miss my mark. Bull’s eye every time. Gimme a targeted goal. I’ll nail it.

Interviewer: Hmmm. Anything else?

Cupid: I have been known to contribute to a tranquil work environment. And, my interpersonal skills are excellent, of course.

Interviewer: What would you say are among your “need to improves”…

Cupid:(thoughtfully) Maternity leaves always seems to increase in my wake….

Interviewer: Oh….’Kay…..Next question….How would you handle a conflict with a co-worker?

Cupid: Bow and arrow. Works every time.

Interviewer (nervously): hehe….BOW and ARROW?!

Cupid: Softens the heart.

Interviewer: You do know we run a thorough criminal background check.

Cupid: (Nods)

Interviewer: And we enforce a strict dress code…

Cupid: Is nudity frowned upon?

Interviewer: We’re a strict shirt and tie company…

Cupid: I smell a discrimination suit…

Interviewer: Oh, no. We are an above board company, Mr. Cupid. We just have policy…….Hey…wait…What are you doing with that bow and arrow!!?

Cupid: Demonstrating another one of my strongest skills…I always know when my services are needed.

Interviewer: AHHH! Who sent you? My ex-wife? My ex-boss? My ex-mother-in-law??

Cupid: Your mother. Now, tell me before I nail my target…whatcha prefer? Blondes or brunettes?
