The President of a company was interviewing job applicants for an executive position. He asked each applicant “What is two and two?” The first applicant had a background as a journalist. He answered twenty two. The second applicant’s experience was in engineering. He pulled out a calculator and said the answer is between 3.999 and 4.001. Then came a lawyer who cited precedent stating that the answer was four. The final applicant was an accountant. He also was asked 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.
