I’d have skipped it in both the essay and the interview. It would be a rare situation when an applicant could pull it off without coming off as having poor judgement or a disregard for authority (which I often have myself, but am aware that I can’t really let out in a lot of situations if I want to get hired, not fired, not banned on CC, etc). :D. As the tips thread discussed, you probably have more than one story you can tell about yourself or topic you can choose. Choose wisely.
