- dvanwag 9y agoOnce, while interviewing for a Program Manager position, I was asked what the airspeed velocity of a swallow was. Being a child of the 90s I was familiar with Monty Pythin and quickly responded with "do you mean an African or a European swallow?" The interviewers chuckled and proceeded onto a more relevant, and technical, question. I often wonder if that one answer is what landed me the position.
