“Take a number. What are your skills? Actually, don’t answer that. Only one skill matters. Are you flexible?”

“What?”

“Take a number.”

“Okay. I got 26.”

“Now serving 26.”

“…okay.”

“Are you flexible?”

“You don’t even know why I’m here.”

“Are you unemployed, and looking for work?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. Are you flexible?”

“What does that mean?”

“Here. Download this app and learn how to upload a photo.”

“Okay.”

“Did you upload the photo?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay. Let me see. Okay. Good. Now, forget it!”

“What?!”

“FORGET IT. FORGET THE APP.”

“That’s all I know!”

“That app is gone. Dead. Your photo is now gone. Look at your phone.”

“Wow. It’s gone.”

“Now, can you download this app and write an essay?”

“You just had me do a test and I passed.”
