Career Change Comedian Pillows

'How would you feel about working in a small pond?'

'And what have you been doing in the ten years since you left your last job?'

"It's a new career for me. I left the business world because I kept running companies into the ground."

'Surely you wouldn't want me to laugh at your joke if I didn't think it was funny!'

I hope a starting salary of 80 and a severance of 12 is acceptable....

"And best of all, it comes fully loaded!"

'No, they're not my children. They gave me these for doing a good job at work.'

'You lack the expertise we're looking for, Mr Wheaton - but darn it, I like your attitude.'
