the accountant interview

[smileyeagle1021]

This is actually an old one...

There was an opening for an accounting position... times being hard 3 people applied for the position, the first was a mathamatician, the second was an engineer, and the third worked for Enron.

There was only one question during the interview, "what is 2+2"

The mathamatician's responded that the answer was 4, he used several complex mathmatical formulas to show proof that 2+2=4.

The engineer also responded that the answer was 4, he however did so by using fancy computer software and calculators to show his proof that was the correct answer.

The Enron employee's response was to quitly close the door, get up close to the interviewer, and whisper "what would you like the answer to be"

Guess which applicant got the job

Reminds me of one a friend told me.

An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician were each put into an empty room with a can and a pen, and told to open the can.

In the end, the engineer had one wall of equations, a wall with several dents in it, and an open can.

The physicist had three walls of equations, one dent in the wall, and an open can.

The mathematician managed to wind up inside the can due to a sign error.
