Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?
I was reading that a standard college entrance interview question is "Name three historical figures you would like to have dinner with, and why?"
I guessing the standard answers include Hillary Clinton, Eleanor Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, Winston Churchill, but if I worked college admissions I'd keep those lame-brains out, or I'd ask, "What, you think you could keep up with that conversation?"
Instead, I think people should answer creatively, like "Stalin, Hitler, and Mao Tse Tung", or, even better, "Stalin, Hitler, and George W. Bush". You could also say, "Jesus, Sting, and Helen of Troy". Why Jesus? He sounds like a nice guy and you'll never run out of food. Helen of Troy because she'll sleep with anybody!
The answer, apparently, that guarentees your admission into business school is, "will the college be paying, or will it be out-of-pocket?"
Who are you having to dinner, and why?
