On a slightly related note, i used to ask at interviews, "What was the worst mistake you've ever made?".
I found out later when stopped by the (UK) police once, that their "Have you ever been in trouble with the police before?" is a similar one. After i answered it pretty dismissively, he said "It's amazing what some people will tell you".
Upvote to the top replier for this anecdote, which i'll keep for special occasions:
> "[A guy in charge] said the military didn’t need to reinforce the spots that had bullet holes. They needed to reinforce the spots that didn’t have bullet holes."
