Now we're cooking with gas! :thumbsup:

Thought I had smelt something fishy.

This way?[^] (Sorry, but you will most probably not get to see the Wok world championships in English)

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

No, I can't let it get pun_itive. It'll get cooked all out of pro_portions.

Write back and ask him what skillet he's referring to

If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

Just send back a reply: My skillet is huge, and well seasoned.

Sounds like a temporary job, just a flash in the pan.

If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Don't do it - sounds like you might be jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.

It's the poor girl's spell checker lacking the word skill set probably.

It was not a misspelled word.

That would have been more appropriate for [this LinkedIn user](https://twitter.com/j4n0/status/1125380024733925377)

[S Houghtelin]

That made me laugh! Now I feel even less special... ;P Classic.

Yeah it was. BTW, just got another spam for a J2EE contract in Halifax of all places. If someone is interested I think I still have the email in the spam folder :)

So you assert that 'skillet' is incorrect?

Well, of course what was I thinking. The only mystery remaining is how and when did he manage to show her his skillet :)

[Dan Neely]

That's still better than one idiot who contacted me a month ago. One of my coworkers had just left, and management decided to try a few new recruiters out. One of the :sunshine:s was so :elephant:ing eager to spam every developer in the region that he couldn't even be bothered to check if I was already working for the company that hired him to post my ex-coworkers job. :doh: The only "good" part of the affair is that that act of stupid probably permanently disqualified the idiot from ever doing work for us in the future. :-\

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

After reading the post and all the replies I come to three conclusions: 1) The title of your post should be "Lazy Recruiters". They don't take the time to re-read their e-mail before sending it. I will admit that their English is better than my whatever their native tongue is, and that this might be the problem. 2) Spell checkers are evil but necessary as no on that came from school at any level in the past 30 years or so can spell worth a damn. 3) The puns you guys do are really bad. Please keep it up. :-D :-D :laugh:

Maybe they just need someone to "cook the books". (with apologies to Julia Child and accountants everywhere)

The word Skillet [^] was not misspelled, which is why it got through. (Thus the point of my post...)
