A 2D digital illustration in the style of a modern graphic novel (think The New Yorker cartoon). A panicked candidate is sitting across from a polite but confused HR manager in a generic office. Above the candidate’s head is a classic 'thought bubble' containing a checklist with only one item: 'DON’T SAY KRYPTONITE.' Below that, a glowing green kryptonite rock is falling out of the candidate’s actual mouth while they speak. Bright colors and expressive facial features. (ai prompt)

Prepping for an interview…

What would you say is your greatest weakness?

Don’t say kryptonite, don’t say kryptonite, for the love of everything holy, you’re too old and that joke’s as expired as the milk would be from the era when it ever was… whatever you do, DON’T SAY KRYPTONiTE..

During the interview…

“so what would you consider your biggest weakness”…

“Well apart from kryptonite…..”

damn it 🫠☠️

Has anyone else ever had their brain betray them in an interview, or am I the only one with old Seinfeld jokes still echoing in their brain? 😭
