spare a minute

An man applies for a job with Apple as a Janitor. Manager: "You can start next week. Let me have your e-mail address, so that I can send you a form to complete." Taken aback, the man protests that he is not in possession of a computer. Manager: "Well then, that means you virtually don't exist and can therefore hardly expect to be employed. Stunned, the man leaves the office. Having only $10, he decides to buy a 10kg box of tomatoes at the supermarket. Within less than 2 hours, he sells the tomatoes to passing office goers at 100% profit. Repeating the process several times that day, he ends up with almost $100 .That's 3 times what he was offered as a janitor. Getting up early every day and going to bed late, he multiplies his profit in quite a short time. He acquires a cart to transport the boxes of tomatoes, only to have to trade it in again shortly afterwards for a pick-up truck. By the end of the first year, he is the owner of a fleet of pick-up trucks and manages a staff of several hundred people. Considering the future of his children, he decides to buy life assurance. Calling an insurance adviser, he picks an insurance plan. At the end of the telephone conversation, the adviser asks him for his e-mail address to enable him to forward the documentation. When the man replies that he has no e-mail, the adviser is stunned: "What, you don't even have e-mail? How on earth have you managed to amass such wealth without the Internet. Just imagine where you would have been by now, if you had been connected from the very start!" After a moment's silence, the tomato millionaire replied: "Sure! I would have been a janitor at Apple."
