I got the photo on Flickr (although I remember it making the rounds via email, back in the days when you sent funny stuff to your friends via email instead of via Facebook or Twitter). I have no idea how they did it, but I would guess a whole lot of Photoshopping was involved.

I’d love to know where you got the photo – and how it was taken…

Just an aside!

Another thing I’ve noticed is mutual recommendation within the same week or so. And one or both looks to be not currently connected to a job (that’s nice speak for ‘unemployed’).
Get your recommendations when you think you don’t need them!

If you’ve asked someone for a reference six times and they still haven’t provided it, you don’t want theirs!

In fact, I’d be worried about the desirability of someone’s recommendation if I have to ask them twice.

Ha! Here’s my recommendation for you: “Lance is the guy who lost his job in a recession or depression or whatever, and STILL got another one in eleven days. That’s cool. Plus, although I’ve never met him in person, I suspect he smells like bacon. People like that.”

That oughta do it, right?

If you would just do it for me really quick, I wouldn’t have to bug you so much about it.
