Int: "maybe before that??"
Me: "oohhhhhh...cooking :o:"

Personaly I think it'd be bad if someone looked at that and didn't construe something sex-related from it. It's even called the "S" curve!

Which raises the question, what is that a graph of? :confused:

At a guess, I'd say it's a business prediction curve for market penetration.

I could be wrong though.

what was the answer by the way?
I was getting a bit of a grilling, then the interviewer came out with this;

Interviewer - So, you're obviously pretty good at science. Do you just do science because it's something you can excel at without having an imagination? Prove to me you have an imagination.

Me - I reckon you were quite attractive thirty years ago.

Didn't go down as well as i'd hoped.
