24. NASA Mars Mission
NASA was interviewing professionals they were planning on sending to Mars. The touchy part was that only one guy could go and it would be a one way trip, that is to say the guy would never return to the Earth.
The interviewer asked the first applicant, an engineer, how much he wanted to be paid for going.
"One million dollars," the engineer answered, "and I want to donate it all to my almamater—Rice University."
The next applicant was a doctor, and the interviewer asked him the same question.
"Two millions dollars," the doctor said, "and I want to give a million to my family 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?" the interviewer asked.
The lawyer replied, "You give me three million, I'll give you one million, I'll keep a million, and we'll send the engineer."
国航局火星计划
美国国航局正在面试几位他们准备派往火星的专家。问题是只有一个人能去，而且这是一次单程旅行，也就是说那人不可能再回到地球上。
第一个申请人是一名工程师，面试官问他这次行动他想要多少钱。
“一百万美元，”工程师回答，“我想把它全部捐给我的母校——赖斯大学。”
第二个申请人是一名医生，面试官问了他相同的问题。
“两百万美元，”医生说，“我想留一百万给我的家人，然后把剩下的一百万捐赠出去以促进医学研究的发展。”
最后一位申请人是一名律师。当问到他想要多少报酬时，他凑近面试官的耳朵小声说：“三百万美元。”
“为什么比别人多这么多？”面试官问道。
律师回答：“你给我三百万美元，我会给你一百万，自己留一百万，然后我们把工程师派出去。”
