planedriver Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 A man was being interviewed for a job with CASA."Were you in the service?" asked the interviewer."Yes, I was a Marine," responded the applicant."Did you see any active duty?""I was in Vietnam for 2 years and I have a partial disability.""May I ask what happened?""Well, I had a grenade go off between my legs and I lost both testicles.""You're hired. You can start Monday at 10 am."The somewhat surprised applicant asked, "When does everyone else start? I don't want any preferential treatment because of my disability.""Everyone else starts at 7 o'clock, but I should be honest with you," explained the interviewer. "Nothing gets done before 10 o'clock because we just sit and scratch our nuts trying to decide what to do first."
Admin Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Now this is ironic - I have to be in Canberra tomorrow for a job interview with CASA at 10am - and I am not joking
planedriver Posted August 4, 2008 Author Posted August 4, 2008 Good luck Ian. Tip for the day. Scratch yourself, and explain why, and you should get the job like the other bloke. Rgds Alan
Guest Baphomet Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Oh, and I thought the punch line was going to be "Thats o.k. at CASA none of us have any balls"
BigPete Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 I hear they have plenty of nuts....... regards :big_grin::big_grin:
slartibartfast Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 They like to be sure that you know how to laugh, so during the interview they give you a test tickle.
Guest airsick Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 I think this thread has run its course. Its sad, long, bad joke of a course. I am not sure how many bad jokes I can take, it is driving me nuts...
Admin Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Well, not a joke but I am back in Melb after spending the day in "lovely" Canberra - had my interview with CASA at 10am so everything was go
Guest airsick Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Well, not a joke but I am back in Melb after spending the day in "lovely" Canberra - had my interview with CASA at 10am so everything was go It was lovely. Blue skies, light puffy clouds, gentle winds. Even went for a fly out to Cootamundra this afternoon. Don't be so sarcastic about Canberra. Now Melbourne however. I was there the other week for 10 days and it was cold, wet, windy. Yeah, really lovely, can't wait to get back there soon... :)
Ben Longden Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 If you got the job, then we would have a field day with "turn to the dark side" jokes... My old CFI, Matt Ford at Air Shepparton is now with CASA... and he certainly cops it! from his old crew! Bit of a bugger though, geez, talk about bloody brilliant instructor. Ben
Yenn Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Airsick. You say you were in Melbourne for a week, 10 days. It only seems like 10 days, actually a week is 7 days, except in Melbourne.

I meant that I was there a few weeks back for about 10 days. But I like the gist of your post. It felt like 2 weeks. :)
slartibartfast Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 It could be worse. I spent a week in Pittsburgh one day.
