job application joke (Washington Sq. Park)

Although we're standing there with a relatively large video camera, some people don't wait for us to actually point it at them before they just start telling us the joke. "Wait, wait," we've learned to say, "Can we actually TAPE you telling the joke?" And some, such as this guy, slip from normal conversation into the joke so seamlessly, it's not until the punch line is just around the bend that you go, "Oh, this is a joke." The job application joke here is actually the second take due to the way he makes it a story about his friend, complete with irrelevant background information to lend general authenticity. As a joke, it kinda doesn't work, but if you ever want to tell someone a joke without them knowing they're being told a joke, well, this is the guy to contact.
