This is a question Lies that got out of control

Ever claimed you could speak a foreign language to impress friends, colleagues and/or get laid? Make a twat of yourself - and I couldn't possibly comment - saying you were the godson of the chairman of BP? Tell us how your porkies have caught up with you

(Thanks to augsav and Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic for the suggestions)

Or "We'll keep your CV on file..."
When you just know they're going to subject it to the ritual humiliation of bukkake then feed it to a pack of crazed wolves.

Actually I work in recruitment and we do keep some CV's on file. But we do also have an in-tray, an out-tray and a bukkake-tray.

we laugh about the CV's to each other for a while
and throw them out when we are no longer amused

There are some awful, awful C.V's
in this world. How people get jobs I don't even know...

Although there can be little
in the world more pitiful than the slush-pile at a children's book publisher. Childish, crayon-drawn pictures of amorphous blobs with names like 'Snicky and Snacky' with notes attached saying things like, "My grandchildren can't get enough of Snicky and Snacky's adventures. The bright colours and hilarious story-lines will appeal to children of all ages."

And then, even more pathetically, "These characters are subject to copyright. If you do not wish to use them then please return them to us and we shall be forced to find another publisher."

I really thought Snicky & Snacky would be my meal ticket, too.

Well, to be perfectly honest
...they could have been. The basic idea was no less facile than that of, say, Charlie and Lola. It's the artistic presentation and the thought that goes into making informative or funny, age-appropriate dialogues/stories which count.

With Ragdoll or Hit Entertainment behind them Snicky and Snacky could have taken over the world and had their own TV series and lunchboxes. Poor Vagabond - so close and yet so far...

I like the sound of Snicky and Snacky. They sound like they have vim and pep. I would certainly commission a twelve book series and perhaps a trilogy of films, if I worked in that sort of thing.

Oh yeah, those wolves...
they just love man-batter!

Semen is rich in protein
and CV paper an ideal source of fibre, which all makes for a happy wolf with a glossy coat and bright, menacing eyes.

It's astonishing, isn't it?
I worked at a bookshop for years and we would frequently have youths drop their CVs off. You would think that they would have a basic grasp of spelling and grammar, or god forbid, bother to run spellcheck, given that they want to work in a shop that SELLS BOOKS.
