Strangest/funniest CV you’ve come across? Light hearted

I’m responsible for hiring someone for Mat leave cover at work and we’ve had quite a few CVs come through..

under hobbies and interests someone has put: conspiracy theories and proving the moon landing was fake

another has put their experience as writing in their diary as a child

DH told me years back someone applied for a job stating their previous job was a drug dealer - apparently it was a joke he forgot to remove before sending it

Are there really people like this or is it always joke/ a way to ensure they don’t get the job if they’re forced to search by the job centre?

Have you ever seen a similar CV? Share your experiences, would love a giggle. (Keep it lighthearted we don’t know the person behind the cv or their circumstances)

Not a CV but a covering letter, applying for a job deputising for my female boss. This idiot summarised his many talents and finished with "PS I don't mind working for a woman! I'll even make the tea sometimes!"
She filed the application in the bin 😅
