This is an old story about how INTC, IBM and others hire
their accounting advisors.

Three applicants seek an open accounting position. The first is asked,"How much is 2 and 2". The bright young
CPA quickly answers, "4".

The second candidate is a bit more pensive, and goes into
a long discourse about needing more information as to
whether the questioner seeks addition, subtraction, division, or some other math operation. He is dismissed out
of hand.

The third chap looks around furtively and asks, "How much
do you want it to be?"

Guess who got the job.

Best wishes,

Bob
