Let’s just stop being serious for a minute, shall we?

A business owner was interviewing several people for a managerial position. He decided to select any individual who could convincingly answer the question “how much is 2+2?”

• The engineer pulled out his slide rule and shuffled it back and forth, and finally stated, “It lies between 3.98 and 4.02″.
• The mathematician said, “In two hours I can demonstrate it equals 4 with the following theorem and proof…”
• The physicist declared, “It’s in the magnitude of 1×101.”
• The logician paused for a long while and then said, “This problem is solvable.”
• The social worker said, “I don’t know the answer, but I am glad that we discussed this important question.
• The attorney stated, “In the case of Svenson vs. the State, 2+2 was declared to be 4.”
• The trader asked, “Are you buying or selling?”
• The accountant looked at the business owner, then got out of his chair, went to see if anyone was listening at the door and pulled the drapes. Then he returned to the business owner, leaned across the desk and said in a low voice, “What would you like it to be?”

Now, back to business…
