[QUOTE="wpr, post: 557882, member: 4159"] This joke has a few different versions. This is the one my aunt told me last night. A company was looking to hire a new employee. The HR Director had interviewed a number of candidates. At the end of the day there were still 3 men left to interview. He told them that he was sorry he had to do it in this manner but he wanted to interview them all at the same time. So he went through the interview process with all of them and at the end he said he had one question for them. He wanted to know what man’s greatest invention was. The first man said it had to be the wheel. Mankind has used a form if it in many application and made life easier. The second man said it had to be space travel. Whether they are manned flights or unmanned flights sending vehicles into space has pulled the heavens closer to us and made the universe a smaller place. The third man said he thought it was the thermos bottle. The HR director was a little surprised. “Did you say the thermos”? “Yes sir I did”. The HR director asked why is the thermos such a great invention. The gentleman said, “Well in the morning you can put hot coffee in it and all day long when you pour yourself a cup it is nice and hot”. The HR man acknowledged that was so. He continued, “And if you put iced tea into the thermos it is nice and cold all day long”. “That is correct. But how does that make it the greatest invention ever”? The third man asked, “How does it know”? What makes this a great story is that my aunt told me that years ago she told this to my elderly grandmother. My aunt then asked me if I could guess what my grandmother’s question was. I thought she would ask how the thermos did know. Nope. My grandmother asked “Who got the job”? [/QUOTE]
