Mistakes we knew we were making

How to nail the interview when trying to secure a place as a gymnastics or boxing judge for the Olympics:

-Selection committee: Do you have any previous professional experience scoring these types of events?

-Candidate: No, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

-Selection committee: Welcome to the ranks.

Alternate answer as follows:

-Candidate: No, but I did save 15 percent on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

Once again, cash is king. The U.S. must not have had as much on hand, however, because they were only able to buy a bronze in the individual balance beam competition.
