Funniest interview story from you or someone you know?

This can be an answer, question or something about the interviewer.

A funny one I heard: this guy was a student athlete wrestler at the college and it was on his resume at the time of his internship interview. The interviewer jokingly said “you must know how to settle business” and the guy laughed, and jokingly responded “yeah, you wanna find out?”.

Needless to say the joke not land.
