The Job

A young man has just got out of accounting school. He goes on his first
interveiw for a job. He waits patiently and then is shown in. Questions
are asked by both people, the young man has a feeling that he's doing
very good in the interview. Suddenly the interviewer asks him how much
one and one is. Without hesitation, he answers two. The interview is
over.

Over the next few weeks this same question comes up in nearly every
interview in one form or another. He always answers with the correct
number, and the interview is immediately over.

Finally he's getting desperate. He goes to this fine Italian firm for an
interview. The interview is going very well, when suddenly the man
behind the desk says, "How much is two and two?"

The student sits there, he knows the correct answer of course if four.
However, each time he's given the correct answer the interview has
ended. Considering he's at an Italian firm, he figures why not. He
answers, "Anything you want it to be."

He's hired on the spot.
