I'm in quite the silly mood and I realize that it probably isn't the best time to respond to job listings. Having said that, I was browsing some ads and came across one that was looking for a creative writer. The ad posed the question "Can you make a mayonaisse sandwich sound delicious?"
So here is my response.
Such is the culinary delight of a properly prepared mayonnaise sandwich. With just a hint of tartness, it moistens a fresh-baked slice of bread like the morning dew moistens a blade of grass. It tantalizes the taste buds with a profound simplicity that few snack foods will ever provide.
So take your grease-laden burger, your sodium-entrenched fries, and wash it down with a soft drink that will surely make your dentist a wealthy man. Myself, I will continue to bask in the glory that is a mayonnaise sandwich, savoring each bite as if it were my last. One of us will know the pleasure that can only be attained from a culinary simplicity, while the other awakes in agony, grasping impatiently for the all-too-frequently used bottle of antacid. I will choose the road less traveled, and I will be a better man because of it.
I doubt I will get the job but maybe I will brighten someones day just a little and give them a good laugh. :) Besides, in my job-hunting, the serious, professional approach hasn't led to much success. Wouldn't it be funny if something like this actually worked? :D
