Killer job interview

Imagine you're a graduate student from the Congo named Guy (Goma). You've been invited to the BBC studios to interview for a job. You're sitting in a reception room, going over your prepared interview answers and waiting to be called.

Now imagine you're editor of Newswireless.net, named Guy (Kewney). You've been invited to the BBC studios to be interviewed on-air for your expert opinion on the whole Apple computers vs. Apple music label thingie. You're sitting in another reception room, going over your prepared interview answers and waiting to be called.

Now imagine you're a producer for BBC news. Your job is to fetch Guy Kewney for his on-air interview. You're very busy, and pissed off that you don't have an assistant to do this kind of menial crap. You open the door to a reception room, ask "Are you Guy?", and when Guy says "yes", you hurry him into the studio and clip a microphone on his lapel.

Hilarity ensues:

"Funny". I believe the word you're looking for, is "funny".

(On a side note, he later explained that he thought the whole thing was just a very weird part of his job interview).

G'day mate, love the blog. Can relate to the coffee incident (mine was red cordial), and I completely enjoyed the expression on the interviewees face.
