I Guess So (by Stuart Whelan)
The company I worked for was hiring a C++ developer, and I was assigned the job of hiring the candidates. When the scheduled start time of 1:30PM came and went, I went to the lobby to see if there was a scheduling mix up. At around 1:50, while I was chatting with the receptionist, a disheveled fellow walked in the door. "Is this Omni-tech?" he asked.

Subtly looking at the giant wall relief with our logo, I assured him it was. "You must be Gary," I asked.
