Why is a manhole cover round? And other crazy interview questions

[dsrtuckteezy]

A friend of mine from law school used to ask "How long is a rope?" while he was debating with someone. He's now the District Court judge out in Stephenville and has been known to ask the lawyers in his court the exact same question.

Anyone know the answer?

5 in. shorter than my penis

"How long do you want that 2x4?"

"Pretty long. We're building a house."

Long enough to hang yourself.

Long enough to hang yourself.

That's what I thought the answer was the first time he asked me.

The answer is "as long as it needs to be," meaning, you do what it takes to make it happen.

Twice as long as one side to the middle?

This is how I've always heard it answered because it's a rhetorical question.and it's typically "how long is a bit of string"

People are always trying to put more meaning into stupid shit.

I'm sure you've seen trainspotting... a little dab of speed is just the ticket mate.

I'd just say that I've got the answer you want and need. If you hire me, you get your answer. Why would I gI've you the answer without getting paid for it? Why hasn't one of your employees been able to deliver this answer to you?

Man, I got here just in time! Let's write out my contract so I can get you exactly what's been keeping you up at night.

"How long do you want that 2x4?"

"Pretty long. We're building a house."

If they need it longer they can always just use a board stretcher.
