While not particularly funny, I did have one very unusual interview. For starters I introduced myself to the wrong Dr. X because he shares an office with another Dr. X, both of whom have first names I wouldn't presume to try and pronounce unassisted! After we figure out who I am and who my interviewer is supposed to be I discover he's not a native english speaker, has a VERY thick accent, and has to pause to search for the right words while asking questions. But I'm okay and just try to listen very hard and not ask him to repeat himself too many times.
So then he starts asking questions along the lines of...
1- explain Anthropology to me. (my undergrad)
2- explain the Pulmonary system to me. (I did the deer in the headlights thing for a few seconds and then recovered, I think!)
3- What do you think about my country?
4- what do you think about George Bush's politics?
5- explain the differences between Black and White (cultures!)
A few more gems like that and all in 20 minutes! I left with my head reeling!
