Are You An iPhone or a Blackberry? and Walmart Interview

Thursday, November 12, 2009 46 Comments

Well owning an iPhone I’m not happy with the results but oh well. That’s life in the big city.


You Are a Blackberry


You are one of those super hard working, cellphone to your hip types.
You like gadgets that do what they’re supposed to do, especially when they keep you super connected to the world.

You prefer function over flash, so things like a long battery life and easy features appeal to you.
You may not look as cool as all of the iPhone kids, but you’re probably being more productive than all of them!

WALMART INTERVIEW

Jennifer a manager at Wal-Mart had the task of hiring someone to fill a job opening.. After sorting through a stack

Of 20 resumes she found four people who were equally qualified. Jennifer decided to call the four in and ask

Them only one question. Their answer would determine which of them would get the job.

The day came and as the four sat

Around the conference room table, Jennifer asked, ‘What is the fastest thing you know of?’

The first man replied, ‘A THOUGHT.’ It just pops into your head. There’s no warning.

‘That’s very good!’ replied Jennifer.

‘And, now you sir?’, she asked the second man.

‘Hmmm….let me see ‘A blink! It comes and goes and you don’t know that it ever happened.. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know of.’

‘Excellent!’ said Jennifer. ‘The blink of an eye, that’s a very popular cliche for speed.’ She then turned to the third

Man, who was contemplating his reply..

‘Well, out at my dad’s ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall there’s a light switch.. When you flip that switch, way out across the pasture the light on the barn comes on in less than an instant. ‘Yip, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of’.

Jennifer was very impressed with the third answer and thought she had found her man. ‘It ’s hard to beat the speed of light,’ she said.

Turning to BUBBA, the fourth and final man, Jennifer posed the same question.

Old Bubba replied, ‘After hearing the previous three answers, it’s obvious to me that the fastest thing known is DIARRHEA.’

‘WHAT!?’ said Jennifer, stunned by the response…

‘Oh sure’, said BUBBA. ‘You see, the other day I wasn’t feeling so good, and I ran for the bathroom, but before I could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, I had already shit my pants.’

BUBBA is now the new greeter at a Wal-Mart near you!

You probably will think of this every time you enter a Wal-Mart from now on.

Hey, it’s only my opinion.

    Congrats Thom, you are finally Canadian being a Blackberry. I am also a Blackberry, wish I could afford one.

    I heard this joke before, but it had a Canadian Slant. It was a Newfoundlander that had Bubba’s Thought.

    OH Congrats Buddy, you best visit Dr John and find out.

    I will never look at Walmart greeters the same again! LOLOL Mwah!

  8. Sylvia Kirkwood Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 06:43

    I’m a blackberry, too. And this is just one more hilarious Walmart story to add to my collection and it is growing!! Someone sent me a group of photos the other day that had been taken of Walmart customers — it was scary!!! Funny as hell, but scary!

    Have a great day, Thom, and thanks for visiting!

    Best regards from
    your friend

    My cell phone was purchased for price and functionality. It has no bells and whistles. I don’t even like using it! LOL

  11. juliana Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 08:17

    pft, i’m not even opening this quiz.
    it’s a good thing we don’t have wall-marts here (ther eare other chain stores, though) but that was a clever answer. yuck!

  12. Susan at Stony River Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 08:25

    So five minutes ago Walmart just wasn’t scary enough yet, eh? ROFL Thanks Thom!

    I’m not even taking the quiz. We both know I’m more a two-cans-and-a-string kind of girl. Or CB radio on a good day.

    ;-)

    I won’t be able to keep a straight face when I see Bubba’s badge saying “Happy to Help”! LOL

  14. LarryG Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 10:14

    Hilarious, and I am probably a b-berry too…
    or as they “crack”berry addict!

  15. Rosidah Abidin Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 12:58

    I’m not fond of Blackberries, but according to the quiz I am one.

    LOL. WalMart sounds like a great place to me ;)

  16. Melli Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 13:22

    WELL! I have absolutely NO idea of what the PROs or the CONs are of a Iphone OR a Blackberry! But the test says I’m a blackberry and if that’s what the test says then it must be true — even though I don’t want to check my email OR play games with my phone! I don’t even want to be able to text message. As a matter of fact I’m starting to think I’d like it hard wired to the wall again! But if I gotta be a blackberry I guess I’ll BE a blackberry. But I’d rather be a blueberry… or even a kiwi!

    We are actually getting new phones on the 16th — my Krysti is campaigning for the Blackberry Family Plan! I doubt it will happen … unless she can WOW Dennis with something about it. It sure won’t be ME! LOL!

    • Thom Friday, November 13, 2009 at 12:15

      I don’t know how any one can want to be wired to a wall. Ouch!!! LOL. The BB is a good phone it’s just the browser. You can’t beat safari on the iPhone. And the touch screen is the bomb. I don’t think it masters what phone you have on your family plan. So you and Dennis could get plain janes and let Krysti have her Cadillac. :)

  17. Jenn@ You know... that blog? Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 13:57

    I’m a crackberry, even though one of my best friends swears by her iPhone, and I agree that it is pretty darn nifty. I just don’t like the iWhatever franchise at all.

    Congrats on the SOTD thing :) Now go check on poor sick Quilly and make sure she’s still breathing, k?

  18. Brenda Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 13:57

    I’ll never be able to look the greeter as Walmart in the face again ;)

    You Are an iPhone

    You are one of those early adopter, super geek chic types.
    You like a gadget that has a ton of features to fuel your tech obsessions.

    You tend to know the inner workings of every toy, phone, and computer you own. You’re always exploring and learning.
    You want the most leading edge phone you can find, at almost any cost. You’re usually the first one in line for the latest iPhone!

    Today I could have aced that interview. I have been all day either asleep, of with some part of me hanging over the commode. (I bet you wanted me to share that.)
