My mother is a scary-good forger, from her title-company days. Like, literally, it's good she's honest. That's why that West Wing where the one secretary can sign Bartlet's name makes me laugh.
Wesley: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war. Fred: but you hated her…didn't you? Wesley: It's not always about holding hands.

resume fiascoes....
I had to tell my little brother a few years back that he really shouldn't include "served as jury foreman on a high-profile murder case" and "held up at gunpoint" on his resume. He was applying for a job with the company I work for so fortunately he sent it to me first. HeadDesk.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"held up at gunpoint"
Ummmm... and he thought this should go on his resume because why?

It happened on the job and he talked about it in light of his quick-thinking and such. Oy!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oy! is right. Given that it was on the job, I can even see it being the answer to one of those "tell us about how you handled a difficult situation at work" interview questions -- but those don't go on the resume either!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
"Didn't get killed at previous job."
guess it could be a qualification ....

Maybe as an interview story? Or would he look like Victim Guy?

When the interviewer asks him for his biggest weakness, he could say, "I don't like to take a bullet for the company" or something....

I told him it was like he was living in The Sopranos universe or something what with the murder and guns. I don't know what the hell he was thinking. I bet his old resume is on more than a few walls of shame. Hell, I'd have kept it and pulled it out when I needed a laugh.

Hell, if that was the case, I should have "didn't choke the everliving shit out of the pompous sack of crap that is my boss, performed daily"
Although, if someone had "held at gunpoint" on their resume, I would be tempted to give them an interview, just 'cause.
