A business man put an ad in the newspaper for an accountant for his business.
The next morning he found three guys sitting outside his office waiting for an interview so he asked the first one to follow him into his office.
He asked the man, "What does 5, 4 and 8 equal?"
Without a blink the man answered, "17".
Without asking another question the business man said, "Your excused. On your way out, tell the next man to come in."
The second man entered the off ice and the business man asked, "What does 12,000 plus 1750 plus 1954 equal?"
In a flash the man answered, "15704".
The business man said, "Your excused. On your way out, tell the next man to come in."
The third man entered the room and the business man asked, "What does 18756 plus 12903 plus 12867 equal?"
The third man said, "What do you want it to equal?"
The business man said, "Your hired."
