| A credit union was advertising for new head accountant. Three
applicants showed up for an interview. The president call in the
first applicant and asked, "How much is two plus two?"
The first applicant looked a little confused and answered, "Four."
"Thank you," the president replied, "Would you send in the next
applicant?"
That applicant came and was asked, "How much is two plus two?"
The second one was as confused as the first and cautiously answered,
"Four."
"Thank you, and please send in the last applicant," was the
president's response.
The third applicant came in. The president once again asked, "How
much is two plus two?"
With this the third applicant looked very serious. He slowly raised
from his seat and checked to see that the door was securely shut.
He closed the window blinds, disconnected the phone and intercom
wires, checked to see that no one else was in the room, leaned over
to the president and whispered,
"How much do you want it to be?"
He got the job.
