The BULL UNEMPLOYED
A tale sent in by PP Margareta Hamilton.
A
n unemployed worker applies at Microsoft
for the position of a janitor. The HR Chief invites him to an interview and sub- jects him to some tests. Then he tells him: ―You got the job, just give me your e -mail address so that I can send you the employment contract as well as the day and time when you start.‖
T T
he man is distraught and answers that he
has no computer and therefore no e-mail. The HR boss tells him that if he has no e-mail address he virtually does not exist and therefore cannot hold a job.
he man leaves in a desperate mood with-
out knowing what to do with his last $10 in his pocket. Finally he decides to go into a supermarket and to buy a 10lb. box of strawberries.
H
e starts out with door to door calls in order
to sell those strawberries by the pound. He man- ages to double his capital in 2 hours. He repeats the deal 3 times more and goes home with $60 in his pocket.
H
e comes to see that he can survive this
way. He starts every day earlier and comes home every day later. So he tri- ples and then quadruples his money every day. A short time later he buys a wheel barrow. He ex- changes it later into a truck and sooner or later is the owner of a complete fleet of delivery trucks.
5 years go by. The man is now the
owner of one of the largest food chains in the USA. Now he starts thinking about the future for him and his family and he de- cides to buy life insurance. He calls an agent and se- lects a good policy. At the end of the negotiations the agent asks him for his e- mail address to send him confirmation of the policy. The man tells him he doesn‘t have an e-mail ad- dress!
―That is strange‖ says the agent ―you have no e-mail but , nevertheless you built this large empire. Can you imagine where you would be if you had an e-mail ad- dress?‖
T
he man briefly thinks and answers :
―I WOULD BE A TOILET CLEANER
AT MICROSOFT.‖

oral 1: The internet does not solve all
the problems in our lives!
oral 2: When you have no e-mail but
work hard you can be- come a millionaire
oral 3: Those who received this story
by e-mail ( eg. The Editor ) are closer to a janitor than a millionaire! (How well she knows me )
(Note from the ed. I do have an e-mail but don’t contact me , I’m out buying strawberries! )
