Help with employment application
Having bee unemployed or underemployed for too many years now, I am looking at how I fill out employment applications in an attempt to make gaps in employment or "job hopping" more palatable to employers.

Since most of these employers tend to be Republicans, I thought that I would simply use answers which seem to go down well with such types.

So, which do you feel would be better:

"I cannot comment on this position, as it is the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation."

or the more succinct:

"I do not recall."

Your assistance is appreciated.

3. Almost, but not quite
I was so drunk and coked out hanging out with the Bush family because they considered me one of them during this time I don't really remember what I was doing.

4. For those nebulous gaps in your employment record
I would simply write, "I was a war president."

10. How about...?
"I disagree with your characterization of the question."

That's one of Scotty McC's weirdest responses.
