Dialog:


Yesterday afternoon I went for that job interview.
  It was the worst experience in my life.
  For some reason I put on my resume that I could speak Japanese, which is a total lie.
  The job had nothing to do with Japanese so I guess I thought I would just put it down to make myself look more well-rounded.
  I never thought that they would actually test me on it.
  It turns out that the guy interviewing me had lived in Tokyo for 8 years.
  His Japanese was great.
  The first thing he said to me was something in Japanese, which I obviously didn’t understand.
  I felt so nauseous.
  I had absolutely no idea what to do so I just replied in English, “hey, your Japanese is pretty good”.
  He said “thanks, but what about you? It says here on your resume that you speak it.”
  I said, “what can I say” he shook his head and said “get the hell out of here!”
