Mrs Duck is very good in interviews. Once she went for a Sales teamleader post.
The guy conducting the interview was your typical salesman all brash and matey. Mrs Duck clocked this and decided he was a bit of lad and liked a pint or two (developing beer gut confirming this).
So when he asked the inevitable and boring question "what are your weaknesses?" she took a risk and said "Stella"
Luckily he laughed decided she was just right for the job.
He turned out to be a right cunt to work for.

NB: I heartily dislike everyone, so everything is a warning sign.
