Job Applicants - Everything is Relative...
A mathematician, a statistician and an accountant are applying
for for the same job. The interviewer calls in the mathematician
and asks "What do two plus two equal?"
The mathematician replies "Four."
The interviewer asks "Four, exactly?"
The mathematician looks at the interviewer incredulously and
says "Yes, four, exactly, definitively, always!"
---
Then the interviewer calls in the statistician and asks the
same question "What do two plus two equal?"
The statistician says "On average, four - give or take ten
percent, but on average, in most instances... four."
---
Then the interviewer calls in the accountant and poses the
same question "What do two plus two equal?"
The accountant gets up, locks the door, closes the shade,
sits down next to the interviewer and says, "Well sir, with
your current goals, tell me, what do you want it to equal?"
