Hiring managers, what was the funniest submission you have seen?

Not exactly me but when I was enlisting we had a guy walk into the recruiters office, interrupt my recruiter who was talking to me, point at the C-130 picture on the wall and asked "how do I drive one of those". My recruiter (pretty pissed off at the first impression this guy made) said "you don't drive a C-130, you fly one," and the kid then went on about how he had just dropped out of high school and wanted to enlist... My recruiter pointed him in the Army's direction because the AF doesn't currently take the GED he would need to get to serve anyways.

Oddly enough, even with explaining it to HR, they chose to hire him anyway just based on his resume. We eventually had to let him go, he had been taking assignments/tickets, marking them complete, hiding a paper copy in a drawer, but never actually doing the work, for months...

LOL. Reminds me when I worked at a Casino in Atlantic City. We were converting over from Token Ring and we were getting pressure from corporate, we were told that the Casino in Las Vegas was making the milestones, why were we stacking? Corporate was giving the IT manager at the Las Vegas Casino bonuses for the great job he was doing. Finally we finished converting over to Ethernet only to find out that the Manager in Las Vegas lied, they didn't even start yet. Needless to say a couple people in Vegas got fired over this.
