Know Your Math

"Know Your Math"

Rick, fresh out of engineering school, went to a
interview for a good paying job. The company boss
asked him various questions about him and his
education, but then asked him, "What is three times
seven?"

"22," Rick replied. After he left, he double-checked
it on his calculator (he *knew* he should have taken
it to the interview!) and realized he wouldn't get the job.

About two weeks later, he got a letter that said he was
hired for the job! Not to look a gift horse in the mouth,
but he was very curious. The next day, he went in and
asked why he got the job, even though he got such
a simple question wrong.

The boss shrugged and said, "Well, you were the
closest."

"They Don't Even Wait Until He's In The Ground"

Joe, the Governor's most trusted assistant, died in
his sleep one night. The Governor had depended
on Joe for advice on every subject, from pending
bills to wardrobe decisions. In addition, Joe had
been his closest friend.

So, it was understandable that the Governor didn't
take kindly to the droves of ambitious office seekers
who wanted Joe's job.

"They don't even have the decency to wait until the
man is buried," the Governor muttered.

At the funeral, one eager beaver made his way to the
Governor's side. "Governor," the man said, "is there
a chance that I could take Joe's place?"

"Certainly," the governor replied. "But you'd better
hurry. I think the undertaker is almost finished."
