From the days of the tech bubble, circa 2000...

A friend worked at Research in Motion, makers of the Blackberry, ticker symbol RIM. When a hiring blitz was planned, HR solicited employees for suggestions on how to advertise job openings. More than one suggestion included a line about wanting a RIM job.

There was also a hiring blitz where I worked, but competition was so fierce that it was hard to find qualified candidates. At an all-hands meeting of close to 500, my boss lamented the quality of the CVs we were receiving. "There are a lot of Joe Blows, but not enough Joe Blow jobs." Howls of laughter, but it was totally innocent. English wasn't his first language, and there's no way he would have knowingly used that line.
