An executive at Enron was looking for a new head of the Accounting department. He was down to three finalists and provided them with a simple question to determine who was going to get the job.
The first finalist was asked: "What's two plus two?"
The first finalist had a background in Civil Engineering. He broke out his slide rule and calculator and said: "Somewhere around five?"
NEXT
The second finalist was asked the same question. The second finalist had a background in Finance and Banking and said "4".
NEXT
The third finalist was asked the same question. The third finalist had a background in Public Relations. This finalist walked around the room looking for listening devices. This finalist pulled down all the blinds, and made sure that the door was closed, and the phone was off the hook before he gave his reply to the Enron executive, in a low whisper..."What would you LIKE it to BE?"
The third finalist got the job at ENRON.
