    Reminds me of a conversation my partner had with an applicant when he was at ATG.

    The applicant put “either net” on his resume
    My partner asked the applicant “which one is it?” (thinking that the applicant had a spelling mistake)
    To which the applicant replied “Oh, either one”

    Crack me up!
