A Job Interview

A businessman was interviewing applicants for the



position of divisional manager. He devised a simple



test to select the most suitable person for the job. He



asked each applicant the question, "What is two and



two?"





The first interviewee was a journalist. His answer was



"twenty-two. "





The second applicant was an engineer. He pulled out



a calculator and showed the answer to be between



3.999 and 4.001.





The next person was a lawyer. He stated that in the



case of Jenkins v. Smith, two and two was proven to



be four.





The last applicant was an accountant. The



businessman asked him, "How much is two and



two?"





The accountant got up from his chair, went over to



the door, closed it then came back and sat down. He



leaned across the desk and said in a low voice, "How



much do you want it to be?"





He got the job !!!
