~~~ Quote:
From John Klossner cartoon in Computerworld (quoted with his permission).

<P>     Cartoon shows an applicant sitting at a desk in front of a manager
or HR person, who says:

<p>   I am a little surprised.  With such extensive experience in predictive
   analytics, you should have known we wouldn't hire you.

<br>See http://www.jklossner.com/TechToons/index.html

Thanks to Ronny Kohavi for pointing me to this cartoon.
