Hmm, I'm going to have to say A. The experience is what really matters here, not some silly joke. Plus, maybe the applicant was just trying to lighten the mood, you know? Lighten up, interviewer!

I'll have to go with B. Jokes don't always reflect someone's true beliefs, and we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, you know?
