Tomato Story!

Aadil.Khan
By Aadil.Khan

A Jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.

'You are employed' he said. Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.

The man replied 'But I don't have a computer, neither an email'.

'I'm sorry', said the HR manager. If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job.'

The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket.. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate.
He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours,
he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times,
and returned home with $60.

The man realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled everyday.

Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.

5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US ..
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...
When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his email.
The man replied,'I don't have an email.'
The broker answered curiously, 'You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e mail?!!' The man thought for a while and replied, 'Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!'

Moral of the story

Let the QLers have to decide....

Story has changed even further now. You can get a job in microsoft only if you don't have an email ID. Because nowadays they are selling tomatoes in their offices.

Are you nuts?......no doubt I am crazy about you!

I cant stop thinking about:

- Office boy at Microsoft??? That position does not exist.

- $10 for 10kg tomatoes??? In the US??? They don't use Kg, and $1/kg is too cheap.

- Double his capital?? This won't scale to "one of the biggest food retailers in the US"... It would only work for a few months.

So this stupid joke does not have a "Moral or the story"... It was probably written by an office boy :P

The moral of the story is stupid: "If you have an email address then you should be an office boy".

While I applaud the entrepreneurship part, it's still a stupid joke.
