Humor: Teamwork

NASA was interviewing applicants from a company to be sent to Jupiter. Only one could go, and he couldn't return to Earth.

The first applicant, from HR, was asked how much he wanted to be paid for going. "One million dollars," he answered, "because I want to donate it to Harvard."

The next applicant, from operations, was asked the same question. He asked for two million dollars. "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 from marketing. When asked how much money he wanted, he whispered in the interviewer's ear, "Three million dollars." "Why so much more than the others?" the interviewer asked. The marketeer replied, "If you give me $3 million, I'll give you $1 million, I'll keep $1 million, and we'll send the guy from HR.
