Every time someone repost something, others throwing some 'Leslie' in... It is about Leslie Nielsen who reportedly died in January, 2016 - again... after he already passed away once in 2010...

That was on Linked In I think...
What, did you expect anything coming from a recruiter's mouth to be even remotely original?

Even in this form it is old (at least 4 years), but it is actually a remake of this, from around 1930: sinden.org: "The Verger" by W Somerset Maugham[^]

When I was somewhat younger, one of the richest men in Pompey was a scrap dealer who couldn't read or write, and honestly never saw a need for it. I remember well him telling me that, with all my highfalutin education, I should read that story... ... Because he couldn't! We pissed ourselves laughing. An eye-opener, though, on what is and can be important in life.

Just got email from recruiter and found it hilarious. A jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him, then gave him a test: clean the floor. The man passed the test with flying colors. "You are hired," HR manager informed the applicant, "give me your e-mail address, and I'll send you the application for employment, as well as the date you should report for work. The man replied " I don't have a computer, or an email!" "I'm sorry," said the HR manager. "If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And we cannot hire persons who do not exist." The man was very disappointed. He didn't know what to do. He only had $10 with him. Once that is spent, he won't have any money to buy any food. He went to the supermarket and bought a crate of tomatoes with his $10. He went from door to door and sold the tomatoes in less than two hours. He doubled his money. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60. He realized that he can survive this way. He started to go everyday earlier, and return late. He doubled or tripled his money every day. Soon, he bought a cart, then a truck. In a very short time, he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man became one of the biggest food retailers in the U. S. He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. At the end of the conversation, the broker asked him for his email address. The man replied: ' I don't have an email.' The broker was dumbfounded. "You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded in building an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?," he exclaimed. The man thought for a while, and replied, "an office boy at Microsoft!" :-D

Not to be pedantic, but if he doubled $10 thrice then he would have $80.

To be even more pedantic, it didn't say that exactly, it only said he _returned home with $60_. He could've spent the difference.

It's all good until you learn that office boy is an euphemism for senior software designer. :-D
