An employment application on hitmanforhire.com which asks for your criminal background. I'm not sure if they're looking for a clean record or not, or someone who's already a criminal.

Well, if you reason it out, which applicant is less likely to get the company in trouble? The one who gets caught, or the one who doesn't?

But isn't pretending you're this guy and trying to determine what you'd do based on what's smart and rational kind of a glaring contradiction?

Well, if you want to talk about that sort of thing, I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense to trust anything an applicant for this sort of job might say about his criminal record.

Or anything else.
