When she is hiring new staff at her public library, my daughter always asks applicants what sort of supervision they'd be most comfortable with. She got all kinds of answers from the applicants -- but this one takes the cake!
One genius answered, "I've always thought Superman's X-ray vision would be cool."

Bonus Joke:
After I applied for jobs at both a library and a shoe store, my husband said he hoped that I'd get the one at the store. "It would be nice to have employee discounts on shoes," he explained.
Then, without thinking, he added, "Of course, if you get the job at the library, we'll get free books."

Extra Bonus Joke:
A worker in the reference department of the Library of Congress received a call asking the meaning of the phrase, "without recourse." He consulted a legal dictionary and furnished this definition, "said of a signer of a document when he takes no responsibility for the face of the document."
"Thank you," said the voice at the other end of the wire. "I have an autographed photograph of Coolidge. It's signed, 'Without recourse, Calvin Coolidge.'"
