	Yeah, me too! I want honest people to work for me, so if you want
a job at my company, you can expect that I will come to your house and look
through everything you own to make sure you don't have any stolen goods. And
if you have any office equipment (staplers, post-it notes, paper clips, etc)
you'd better have receipts for it, because if there's one thing I cannot 
tolerate, it's people with a track record of stealing office supplies.

	Also, I want people who are not in self-destruct mode. This means
people cannot drive on the freeway, must never have been sick (and if they
have a terminal disease like MS or cancer - even if its in remission -
forget it), play sports, smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol etc. etc. etc.


Are you serious? You really see nothing unfair about prejudice and ignorance
being the deciding factors in hiring practices? Gimme a break.
