I've come to my many good friends at the smart student doctor society. I need your help and I am facing endangerment; meaning I am endangered. This could be most useful I think, like the hit show "What Not to Wear" yup.
















These are some things that I am cautious not to do at each interview (I'm never letting my guard down-as soon as the hands drop, KO!)

-always answer in the form of a question
ie.
interviewer: how are you?
interviewee: what is not bad?

-Sean Connery impersonation

-reply only in riddles, proverbs, or famous quotes
interviewer: Hello!
interviewee: yes, but if you don't go into the cave of the tiger, how are you going to get its cub?
interviwer: huh?
interviewee: YES, BUT WHEN YOU GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN TOO OFTEN, YOU WILL EVENTUALLY ENCOUNTER THE TIGER
*silence
interviwee: you see, elephant tusks cannot grow out of a dog's mouth

-give gifts of high value
interviwer: what is this?
interviewee: it's for you, it's a pumpkin! Happy Groundhog Day!

-wear clothes that are too hip
interviewer: what's on you shirt?
interviewee: it's Pippi Longstocking!

-Ali impersonation
-interviewer: how are you?
interviewee: Why, Chump, I bet you scare yourself to death just starin' in the mirror. You ugly bear! You ain't never fought nobody but tramps and has beens. You call yourself a world champion? You're too old and slow to be champion!

-hum a Stevie Wonder song

interviwee: da da duh da, clap your hands, yah tap your toes!

-bring food in
interviewer: what is this?
interviewee: you wanted chilli didn't you? I love bacon, you can't have any!!!!!!!!!!

-demonstrate karate
interviewee: I am the karate kid
interviewee: I will not be ignored! Flying iron dragon fisted knuckle sandwich

-Any Gollum/Yoda impersonation

Can you think of anything else? Thanks good friends!
