Who Got the Job?

A CEO of a very upscale technical company was in dire need of a new head of his accounting department. He narrowed the applicants down to three and their resumes were very, very impressive.
He calls the first one in and says, "I have but one question for you! What is two and two?" The applicant was a bit taken back but stammered, "Why, its four!" "Thanks," said the CEO, "We will be in touch!"
The second applicant is ushered in and the same procedure is applied and the same shocked, stammering response, "Four?!" Again the CEO said, "Thanks, we will be in touch!"
The third highly qualified applicant come in, sits down and the CEO asks him the question. The guy leans forward and across the desk, looks the CEO directly in the eye, smiles, and says, "What do you want it to be?"
