    A mathematician, software engineer and accountant all apply for the same job. The interviewer has the mathematician come in and asks him, "What is 2+2?" The mathematician says, "Oh that's easy. 4." "Very well. We will give you a call." says the interviewer. The software engineer comes in and is asked the same question. "What is 2+2?" The software engineer answers, "5, for very large values of 2." "Very well. We will give you a call." says the interviewer. The accountant comes in and is asked the same question. "What is 2+2?" The accountant gets up, closes the blinds, locks the door, takes the phone off the hook, leans way over the desk and gets close to the interviewer and asks, "What do you want it to be?" :laugh: :laugh:

    I have nothing more to say.
