Thread; Here is something a little more uplifting than today's price action in cpq. Michael Capellas ("MC"), Michael Dell ("MD") and Lou Gerstner ("LG") are so fed up with the computer business they decide to apply for an IT job opening at the FBI. After a day of intensive interviews, they are told there is one more test to prove their dedication to the FBI. The head FBI agent takes MC into a private room. He hands him a gun and says, "Go into that room and kill your wife." MC says, "No way," and leaves FBI headquarters. LG goes through the same proceedings. He walks into the second room, but on seeing his wife decides that she is worth more than a good job, and he, too, refuses. Finally, MD is given the gun and told to kill his wife. He walks into the second room and six shots are heard. A few seconds later, the head FBI agent hears crashing and banging from the room. After a few minutes, MD comes out of the room. "What happened?" asks the FBI agent. "Some idiot loaded the gun with blanks... I had to kill her with the chair."
