Nasa And the Lawyer
NASA was interviewing professionals to be sent to Mars. Only one
could go -- and couldn’t return to Earth.
The first applicant, an engineer, was asked how much he wanted to be
paid for going. “A million dollars,” he answered, “because I want to
donate it to M.I.T.”
The next applicant, a doctor, was asked the same question. He asked
for $2 million. “I want to give a million to my family,” he
explained, “and leave the other million for the advancement of
medical research.”
The last applicant was a lawyer. When asked how much money he
wanted, he whispered in the interviewer’s ear, “Three million
dollars.”
“Why so much more than the others?” asked the interviewer.
The lawyer replied, “If you give me $3 million, I’ll give you $1
million, I’ll keep $1 million, and we’ll send the engineer to Mars.” Click here for more Lawyer
