A mathematician, an accountant and a public relations officer all applied for the same job at Farm Town to keep all farmers informed.
The developer called in the mathematician first and asked, "What does two farms plus two farms equal?"
The mathematician replied, "Four farms."
The developer asked, "Four, exactly?"
The mathematician looked at the developer incredulously and said, "Yes, of course: four, exactly."
Then the developer called in the accountant and asked the same question, "What does two farms plus two farms equal?"
The accountant said, "On average, four farms - give or take 10 per cent depending on their expanded size; but on average, four farms."
Then the developer called in the public relations officer and again posed the same question, "What does two farms plus two farms equal?"
The public relations officer got up, locked the door, closed the shade, sat down next to the developer and whispered, "Well, what do you want it to equal?"
