All accounted for

An employer was interviewing applicants for a senior position, and he asked each candidate this question: 'What is 2+2?' The first interviewee was a journalist. His answer was '22'.

The second applicant was an engineer. He pulled out a calculator and showed the answer to be '4.000000'. The next applicant was a lawyer. He stated: 'In the case of Anil Appam Enterprise v. Central Board of Direct Taxes, 2+2 was proven to be 5.'

The final applicant was an accountant. When asked the question, he got up from his chair, went over and closed the door. He came back, sat down, looked into his interviewer's eyes and asked, 'What do you want it to be?'


Customer is King

An employee goes to see his supervisor. 'Boss,' he says, 'We're doing some amazing work lately, and I think it's time I got a promotion.'

The boss looks at him and says, 'Well, you've been here for ten years and done your job well. Let's see what we can do.' The next week, the employee receives a letter in the mail: 'Congratulations! You've been promoted to customer.'
