I have fun with it. If the interviewer/company can't appreciate my sense of
humor (i.e. who I am) then I know I don't want to work there. I stay
professionally focused, but I also try to act natural. After all, you have
to determine if the place is right for you, and they have to determine if
you'd fit in there. Putting up a false front is detrimental to this process
(IMHO). I'm not advocating that everyone start goofing around in an
interview situation, but you have to be yourself. After all, honesty [should
be] the best policy.
