Here's One

 An engineer, an economist and a lawyer were being 
 interviewed for a position in a prestigious business firm.
 A whole series of difficult questions were asked of them, 
 but one wiry old director decided he would ask each one,
 "How much is 2 and 2?"
 
 The engineer who was interviewed first excused himself
 and did some measurements and calculations and 
 returned to the room and announced:"four"
 
 The economist who was next, dashed to the library 
 grabbed some great tomes, consulted a few agencies 
 and a task force and returned with the answer:"four"
 
 When they got to the lawyer, he drew the blinds, made 
 certain no one was at the door, checked the telephone for 
 bugs and in a conspiratorial tone asked:
 "How much do you want it to be?"
