I heard a great story this week. A boy went for interview at a reasonably posh private school.

He had previously failed the Bucks 11+. The interviewer asked him why he wanted a place at the school. The boy answered "because it's the last resort"!

The interviewer hooted with laughter, and yes, he got the place.
