A young man named Rick is given an interview for the
position of stock broker with a large Investment firm.
Interviewer: Rick I noticed you were a student at
Harvard in the Business program.
Rick: Yes Sir I was. Unfortunately someone caught me
cheating on the finals and I was expelled without
graduating.
Interviewer: You realize this impacts your employment
opportunities.
Rick: I definitely do sir. That paper would have made
a big difference in my life.
Interviewer: Rick I want to test your knowledge of
finance. I will give you a term and you tell me what
you think it means.
Rick:No problem.
Interviewer:Fundamental Analysis
Rick:Fundamental analysis is a psychiatric term where
the subject participates in amusing exercises and the
results are used to obtain a quantitative measurement
of mental state.
Interviewer: P/E Ratio.
Rick: Did you say pee ratio?
Interviewer: Yes Rick.
Rick: Oh yes. The pee ratio. Well the pee ratio is in
fact a urine test. This test determines within 5%
accuracy which days a woman is likely to go
on her period.
Interviewer: Short Squeeze
Rick: The short squeeze is an exercise that a freshman
to a school or a rookie to a team or job must endure.
It is a form of initiation. A painful one , I might
add.
Interviewer: That's all the question I have Rick.
Rick: How did I do.
Interviewer: Let me put it this way for you Rick. You
have a history of cheating, can't get a job anywhere
else, don't know what you are talking about but can
shoot the baloney with the best of them. I'd say you
are perfect for the job
