An interviewer once told me "You were selected because I liked a joke you put in your resume.", essentially telling me my application was a joke. Needless to say, I didn't get the job.

I've done a ton of interviews, and I wonder if someone is quoting some offhanded comment I made without thinking as some meaningful aspect of the interview.
Not saying that happened in your situation, but it's a reminder of the importance of our statements, I couldn't remember a single thing I've ever said in an interview, but someone else surely does.
