An engineer, a physicist, and a lawyer were being
interviewed for a position as chief executive
officer of a large
corporation.
The engineer was
interviewed first, and was asked a long
list of
questions, ending with "How much is two plus
two?"
INTERVIEW TECHNIQUESThe engineer excused himself, and made a series
of measurements and calculations before returning to the
board room and announcing, "Four."
The physicist was next interviewed, and was asked the same
questions. Before answering the last question, he excused
himself, made for the library, and did a great deal of
research.
After a consultation with the United States Bureau
of Standards and many calculations, he also announced "Four."
The lawyer was interviewed last, and was asked the same
questions. At the end of his interview, before answering
the last question, he drew all the shades in the room,
looked outside the door to see if anyone was there, checked
the telephone for listening devices, and asked "How
much do you want it to be?"PAYING THEIR RESPECTSAn elderly man 82, just returned from the doctors only
to find he didn''t have long to live. So he summons the
three most important people in his life to tell.
1. His Doctor
2. His Priest
3. His Lawyer
" Well today I found out I don''t have long to live.
So I asked you three here, because your the most important
people in my life. And I need to ask a favour. Today I
am going to give each of you and envelope with $50,000
dollars in it. When I die, I would ask that all three of
you throw the money in my grave."
Well a few days later the man passed on, The doctor said, "I
have to admit I kept $10,000 dollars of his money, he owed
me lots of medical bills. But I threw the other $35,000
in."
The Priest said, "I have to admit also I kept $25,000
dollars for the church. Its all going to a good cause.
And I threw the rest in."
Well the Lawyer just couldn''t believe what he was hearing, "I
am surprised at you two. I wrote a check for the whole
amount and threw it in."
