Question: Your answers in the interviews I read are usually very witty, do you need some time to make up an answer or are you able to answer right away?
Sid: I wouldn't consider myself as being witty, but I do try to answer interview-questions as conscientious as possible without taking myself too serious... usually I'm answering questions right away: That's why I prefer telephone interviews, because they are much more of a dialogue.
Näx: I have studied the very young science of wit for some three or four years in Bologna, Lissabon, Calcutta and Nowosibirsk (a town which is very famous for the wit of it's citizens), etc. Unfortunately I neither speak any of the languages spoken there nor do I understand them. I also have to admit that I was no good student. Knowing only little about the theories of wit, it takes me a lot of time to write witty answers and I'm very poor in doing that. In fact, I don't like wits - they only make me laugh.
