[QUOTE="SuperintendentChalmers, post: 1751876, member: 535862"] Random hiring interview story: The great neurologist Oliver Sacks was being interviewed to lead the neuroscience department at Columbia. His assistant was part of the interview as well. She had been with him many years and would be hired too. As someone who struggled for much of his life with the fact that he was gay, Sacks had been celibate for decades. The interviewer said to him, "Dr. Sacks, I need to ask you a personal question, would you like your assistant to leave the room?" Sacks laughed and said, "You can ask me anything you want in front of her. I haven't had sex for 35 years!" The interviewer replied, "Well, I'm very sorry to hear that, and if you're hired we'll see what we can do about that. But I was going to ask for your Social Security Number." [/QUOTE]
