Cereal Killing The Mood

(I’m at a job interview for a dog boarding facility. My previous job has a very laid-back environment, but I want to show that I am serious about the position. They have asked me the basic questions, which I have managed to answer professionally. After a while, they start asking some weird questions.)

Interviewer: “So if you were a type of cereal, what would you be?”

Me: “Frosted Flakes…? Because they’re grrrrreat!”

Interviewer: *completely expressionless*

Me: “I… That was a joke….”

(Surprisingly, after that idiotic joke, I got a call from them a week later with an offer. I ended up declining for a better offer.)
