Boss: “Your résumé says you’re very quick at math.”
Applicant: “Yes, sir. I’m extremely fast.”
The boss smiled.
“Great! Let’s test that. What is 47 times 83?”
The applicant immediately replied,
“Seven!”
The boss stared at him.
“Seven?! That’s not even remotely close!”
The applicant confidently nodded.
“Maybe not…”
He paused and smiled.
“But it was pretty fast, wasn’t it?”
The boss looked at his résumé again.
Then quietly moved it to the “Maybe Later” pile.
