A CEO has his business going well, but he's a bit worried. He decides
to check the competence of his employees.
The first person he meets is his assistant:
- Oh Miss, I'd like to ask you just a question. How much make 2+2 ?
- Yes Sir. Do you want a detailed memo on that?
- No, just answer the question.
- Well, I think it's 4.
Then he goes to the computer tech:
- Hi John! Just a question. Can you tell me how much make 2+2 ?
John runs Excel, and after five minutes answers:
- It is 4.00 E+0, but I'm not sure, the support staff should come
tomorrow. Will I ask them to check it?
Then he goes to the accountant:
- Hello mister, can you tell me how much make 2+2 ?
- Well, well, I know I'm late. I'm sorry. I didn't already collect
all the data, neither check all the accounts. But I can estimate it
now between 3.196... and... let's say... 5.659. But I'll be able to
make a much more accurate estimate within two weeks!
A bit disappointed, he goes to the sales manager:
- Hello Bob, could you tell me how much make 2+2 ?
- So... How much do you think it makes?<
- I ask you to answer.
- Mmh... you don't want to tell me your price. You want me to make an
offer. - Indeed.
- So, let's say 6! No, excuse me, you're not that kind of man, you
know the market. I sell it to you for 5.25, and that's the price I'
make for my best friend!
Then he goes to his lawyer:
- Good Morning Mister. Can you tell me how much make 2+2 ?
- Right now?
- Yes!
- So, at first I would say 2, but I'm convinced that with a good
preparation, we can get 3!
And, finally, he goes to the actuary:
- Hello Sir, can you tell me how much make 2+2 ?
- Of course. It is... It is... Mmmmh, well, how much would you like
it to make?
2 + 2

Re: 2 + 2
How much make 2+2 ?
If he is that incoherent, how the hell did he become CEO. No wonder that he is worried.
LOL
