The MD of a company is sat across the desk from a smartly dressed young woman.
MD
Normally Mz Parker I would leave any job interviews to HR. As you know we're a multinational company so as you can imagine my time is beyond valuable. But having read your CV especially the section where you talk a little about yourself. I decided to do the interview myself as I was amazed at your back story.
PARKER
Thank you.
MD
Now you say that one of your grand fathers was a Great Train Robber? And that the other was the head cashier at the Bank of England?
PARKER
That's right.
MD
And even more amazing your mother was implicated in the Brinks Matt Bullion robbery? And your father won the Victoria Cross in Bosnia?.
PARKER
That's right
MD
That is amazing, Mz Parker I pride myself on my judgement. After all you don't get where I am today by making poor calls and I can tell what side of your family you come from and based on that you're hired .
The MD signs the contract and passes it and his pen over the desk and MZ Parker signs it.
MD
That's a five year deal Mz Parker at way above the normal rate, all that left for me to say is welcome aboard
The two shake hands and as Mz Parker goes to leave the MD speaks again.
MD
Oh can I have my gold pen back please I was given that by the Sultan of Brunei
PARKER
What pen?
MD
Oh for f**ks sake
