IWS #218 - Stupid gets a performance review

The Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s magical and raisin fuelled founding pantheon.

The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. Yes, that word "product" here in the Great White North means that they will be multiplied together, not added. Highest score wins.

Collaboration of any kind is strictly forbidden. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants. Just don't be an asshat, and this should end well.

All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this round of the game. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing. My decisions are final and utterly inarguable, no exceptions.

Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "Which Canadian team will next hoist the Stanley Cup?" and you answer "Toronto Maple Leafs" along with 13 other people, you each regrettably will be awarded 14 points -- even though the correct answer is "None".

IWS #218 - Stupid get a performance review

Stupid gets an email monday morning that he will be receiving a performance review this friday. He opens up the email to find a 3 question questionnaire.

1. What is your best skill that you provide the company?

2. What is the one area that you need to improve upon?

3. What percent raise do you feel that you deserve?

Stupid submits the email and anxiously awaits his review on friday. When stupid arrives to the review he sees three other employees sitting in the room and several board games. Stupid is informed that he can select any game, however only the winner will be retained with the company.

4. Which board game does stupid select?

Amazingly after a long drawn out match stupid wins the board game. Sweaty and nerve wracked stupid is ushered into an adjoining room. Stupid is informed that his office will be closing but there will be a position available for him in another office. The company has offices in most major Canadian and US cities.

5. Which office does he choose to transfer to?

Upon arriving for the first day of work at his new job he is told that he has shown impressive skills and has been promoted to branch manager. He is allowed to select any office on the floor.

6. Which direction do the windows in his office face?

*******************************************************

Please PM your answers to me with "IWS #218" in the title. Submissions are due by 12:00 PM Mountain Time on Monday May 12th.

Is this code for "people that turned entries in first are now on the bottom"?

Draft day bump, upto 19 entries.

Actually a couple of early entries are doing very well. We shall see if the trend continues.

This was a bit of a tough one but not an unfair one. Good and creative ideas
