Story Of A Jobless Man

[AltumAngel]

5 years ago, 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 every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, 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 email?!!"

The man thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"

Moral of the story:

M1 - Internet is not the solution to your life.

M2 - If you don't have internet, and work hard, you can be a millionaire.

M3 - If you received this message by email, you are closer to being an office boy, than a millionaire. .........

Have a great day!!!

Pls Note: - Do not forward this email to me back, I'm closing all my email addresses & going to sell tomatoes!!!

Smiling after reading is not mandatory!!! !

I heard this joke when I was a little kid looooong time ago before computers were invented. The story line was of the guy applying for a job as a lavatory cleaner but did not get the job as he couldn't read or write.

Same scenario he went on to become a hugely successful business man and when asked where he would be if he could read and write his reply was a lavatory cleaner.

This is a fairy tale.

Microsoft doesn't directly hire floor cleaners, they contract out to agencies who generally employ illegal Latin-American aliens for cleaning so they don't have to pay benefits.

The guy selling tomatoes would be busted the first day for food vending without a license or health department clearance.

However, there is hope for the non-emailers, John McCain doesn't do email and he married into the Budweiser beer fortune.

This is even sillier than "beer economics" and "democrat cats" jokes, and those were really lame.
