Want this job? 'Let me sleep with your girlfriend'

You don't have to answer "Yes, you can sleep with my girlfriend" - you just have to not look shocked and have a quick comeback.

A good answer one person posted on Wall Street Oasis was: I've been with my girlfriend a long time and plan to marry her. If you so much as kiss her neck, I'd [bleeping] knock you out. That being said, I have a beautiful sister I'd be happy to hook you up with ...
And that, my friend, is a lesson in how deals get done on Wall Street!

Hmmm.
If Wall Street is so tough, and they are trying to weed out poor applicants, why did they not catch the poor applicants that became leaders in Wall Street.
U.S. financial leaders such as:
- Countrywide
- Enron
- J.P. Morgan Chase
- Lehman Brothers
- Wachovia

I probably would aim for a sharp remark:

Your words seem to have a direct correlation to the firm's first quarter results-anything goes. I adhere to professional standards for the ---- sector, which clients and boards of directors acknowledge.
