Humor: "The Janitor"

[tv star collector]

An unemployed man goes to apply for a job with Microsoft as a
> janitor.
>
> The manager there arranges for him to take an aptitude test
> (Section: Floors, sweeping and cleaning).
>
> After the test, the manager says, "You will be employed at
> minimum wage, $5.15 an hour. Let me have your e-mail address,
> so that I can send you a form to complete and tell you where to
> report for work on your first day."
>
> Taken aback, the man protests that he has neither a computer nor
> an e-mail address. To this the MS manager replies, "Well, then,
> that means that you virtually don't exist and can therefore
> hardly expect to be employed."
>
> Stunned, the man leaves.
>
> Not knowing where to turn and having only $10 in his wallet, he
> decides to buy a 25 lb flat of tomatoes at the supermarket.
> Within less than 2 hours, he sells all the tomatoes individually
> at 100% profit. Repeating the process several times more that
> day, he ends up with almost $100 before going to sleep that
> night. And thus it dawns on him that he could quite easily make
> a living selling tomatoes.
>
> Getting up early every day and going to bed late, he multiplies
> his profits quickly. After a short time he acquires a cart to
> transport several dozen boxes of tomatoes, only to have to trade
> it in again so that he can buy a pick-up truck to support his
> expanding business.
>
> By the end of the second year, he is the owner of a fleet of
> pick-up trucks and manages a staff of a hundred former
> unemployed people, all selling tomatoes.
>
> Planning for the future of his wife and children, he decides to
> buy some life insurance. Consulting with an insurance adviser,
> he picks an insurance plan to fit his new circumstances. At the
> end of the telephone conversation, the adviser asks him for his
> e-mail address in order to send the final documents
> electronically.
>
> When the man replies that he has no e-mail, the adviser is
> stunned. "What, you don't have e-mail? How on earth have you
> managed to amass such wealth without the Internet, e-mail and e-
> commerce?
>
> Just imagine where you would be now, if you had been connected
> to the internet from the very start!"
>
> After a moment of thought, the tomato millionaire replied,
>
> "Why, of course! I would be a floor cleaner at Microsoft!"
