My all time favorite resume was from a guy in Switzerland. I used to work at the Experimental Aircraft Association - basically if airplanes are your hobby, you belong to EAA. It was my first HR job. Anyway, this guy wrote to the company asking for $5M because he had invented this anti-gravity stuff and needed money to patent it. He wrote about cars without wheels, airplanes without wings and on and on. He was completely serious, but also completely nuts. I saved it and anytime I was having a shitty day I would re-read it.
