A man is hiring for an accounting position, and is conducting interviews for each of the hopefuls.The first accountant walks in and starts to introduce himself, “I’m here for the accounting position.”

The boss asks him, “What’s 2+2?”

“4” replies the accountant.

The boss tells him to get out. Sad, disappointed, and a little confused, the accountant slowly leaves the office.

The next candidate then enters and the boss asks him, “What’s 2+2?”.

“4” replies the accountant.

The boss tells him to get out.

Just as confused as the first accountant, the second one leaves thinking that if the boss is that stupid he doesn’t want to work there anyway.

The next candidate then enters and the boss asks him, “What’s 2+2?”.

The accountant replies, “Anything you want it to be.”

The boss says, “You’re hired.”

She then hangs upside down from the ceiling.

The boss comes in and says, “What are you doing?”

The woman replies, “I’m a light bulb.”

The boss then says, “You’ve been working so much that you’ve gone crazy. I think you need to take the day off.”

As the woman leaves, the man starts to follow her and the boss says, “Where are you going?”

The man says, “I’m going home, too. I can’t work in the dark.”

I’m not having much luck with jobs lately

I’m not having much luck with jobs lately:

I couldn’t concentrate in the orange juice factory.

I wasn’t suited to be a tailor.

The muffler factory was just exhausting.

I couldn’t cut it as barber.

I didn’t have the patience to be a doctor.

I didn’t fit in the shoe factory even though I put my soul into it.

The paper shop folded.

Pool maintenance was too draining.

I got fired from the cannon factory.

And I just couldn’t see any future as a historian.

Sitting there, he saw a man come into the outer office.

Hoping to look like a hot shot, the businessman picked up the phone and started to pretend he was working on a big, important business deal.

He threw huge figures around and made giant commitments. Finally he hung up and asked the visitor, “Can I help you?”

The man said, “Yeah, I’ve come to activate your phone lines.”

“Thanks, boss,” says the employee. “I knew I could count on you!”

The interviewer inquires, “Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, a red Corvette?”

The engineer sits up straight and says, “Wow! Are you kidding?”
