Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went up the hill.
They each had a quarter.
Jill came down with fifty cents.
You think they went up for water?

You lie, and I’ll swear to it….

A businessman was interviewing applicants for the position of divisional manager. He devised a simple test to select the most suitable person for the job.

He asked each applicant the question, “What is two and two?”

The first interviewee was a journalist: Her answer was ‘Twenty-two.”

The second applicant was an engineer: He pulled out a slide rule and showed the answer to be between 3.999 and 4.001.

The next person was a lawyer. He stated that in the case of Jenkins v Commander of Stamp Duties, two and two was proven to be four.

The last applicant was an accountant.

The businessman asked her, “How much is two and two?”

The accountant got up from her chair, went over to the door and closed it then came back and sat down.

She leaned across the desk and said in a low voice…. “

How much do you want it to be?”

He got the job.
