Are You Kidding?
Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asks a young engineer fresh out of the London Institute of Technology,
"And what starting salary are you looking for?" The engineer replies, "In the region of £125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." The interviewer inquires,
"Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, a red Corvette?"
The engineer sits up straight and says, "Wow! Are you kidding?" The interviewer replies, "Yes, but you started it."
