Sweet little story by Spisefisken 2002-01-03 02:22:33
A guy that was out of a job, applied for a floorcleaning job at Microsoft. The boss invites him for an interview and a qualifications test (as a floorcleaner). After the interview the boss tell the unemployed: "You are hired. Giv me your e-mail adresse, and I will send you some forms, which you have to fill, pluse time and place for you your first workday." The unemployed answer quite despairing, that he doesn't have a computer, and therefore no e-mail adress. The boss tells him that if he doesn't have an e-mail, he doesn't exist virtuallym and therefore he can not be employed at Microsoft.

Deeply despaired the unemployed goes home

He doesn't know what to do, and he has only 10$ in his pocket. He decides to buy a case with 10 kg of tomatoes i the nearby supermarket. In less than 2 hours he has sold all of the tomatoes for at least the double amount of what he paid for them.! This repeats another couple of times, and he goes home with 80$ in his pocket. This way he realizes, that he could earn a living this way.

Every day he got up early, and came home late, he doubled his money many times every day. After a while he bought a cart... exchanged it to a lorry and soon he had fleet of trucks. After a few years he own the biggest wholeale business within vegetables in all of the US.

After he had come this far that way, he starts thinking about his familys future, and decides to make a life insurance. He calls the insuranceagent and chooses a type of insurance. When the call has ended, the agent asks to get his e-mail adress, so that he kan send the papers.

The man answers that he doesn't have an E-mail. To this the agent replies: "Odd , that you doin't have an e-mail adress, and despite that fact where able to build such a great empire. Imagine what you could have done if you had an e-mail."

The man thinks a little and replies: "I could have been a floorcleaner at microsoft!"

The first moral of this story is:
The Internet doesn't control your life.

The second moral of this story is:
If you want to be a florcleaner at Microsoft, you need to get an e-mail adress.

The third moral of this story is:
If you don't have an e-mail adress and work hard, you can become a millionaire.

The fourth moral of this story is:
If you have received this story through e-mail or the internet, you are closer to a job as a floor cleaner, than one as a millionaire.




Best Regards, a guy that received the story through e-mail. :-)


Sorry if there where some bad translation, but I received it in Danish, and I thought that it fits to this forum.
