If you were a fruit, which one would you be?

I've been teaching job interview preparation classes for the last three months. I'm getting tired of asking people the same old questions provided by my boss, so to spice things up, I'm constantly searching for new job interview questions to ask my students. For example:
How many bottles of soju can you drink?
How many cockroaches are there in Seoul?
If you were the interviewer, what question would you ask?
Why is your GPA so low?
How many push-ups can you do? Prove it.
Want to arm wrestle?

Once I asked my students "If you were a fruit, which one would you be?" Dumb question, I know, but I found it on a website and I was desperate to get away from "What's your biggest weakness?" Here's my favorite response to the fruit question, from a shy student named Jae-Ryel: "If I were any fruit, I would be a lemon because then I'd get the chance to swim in beer."

In a conversation class I taught last month, I asked my students if they had ever had any pets. Key, one of my favorite students, responds:
"Once we had a dog, but we ate. My mom cooked it in soup. When I ate it, I cried, but it was so delicious."

First of all, unlike having to eat 6 times per day every day your
training should only be done 1 time per day 3 days per week with at least one
day of rest between training days. There are many good muscle building and weight
gaining programs that you can buy and download from the internet.

Any product or lifestyle that can help to increase body mass in a
healthier manner and without using any harsh chemical
is a safe and natural way to gain body weight.
