Microsoft Office Boy

A jobless man applied for the position of "office boy" at
Microsoft.

The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the
floor as a test.

"You are employed." He said." Give me your e-mail address
and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as
date when you may start."

The man replied "But I don't have a computer, neither an
email."

I'm sorry", said the HR manager, "If you don't have an
email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist,
cannot have the job."

The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do,
with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the
supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate. He then sold the
tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he
succeeded to double his capital.
He repeated the Operation three times, and returned home
with $60.

The man realized that he can survive by this Way, and
started to go everyday earlier, and return late Thus, his
money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a
cart, then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery
vehicles.

5 years later , the man is one of the biggest food retailers
in the US .

He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have
a life insurance.

He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan.
When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him
his email. The man replied, "I don't have an email". The
broker answered curiously, "You don't have an email, and yet
have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you
could have been if you had an email?!!"

The man thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an
office boy at Microsoft!"

This is a variation on the old "If I'd learned to read I'd
be a janitor" story.
