The Job Interview

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young Engineer fresh out of MIT, "And what starting salary were you looking for?"

The Engineer said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."

The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years - say, a red Corvette?"

The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"

And the interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it."

i really have no idea what you mean!!
please explain..
and by the way: what's MIT?
this was sent to me by basmataml:While visiting England, George Bush is invited to tea with the Queen.
He asks her what her leadership philosophy is. She says that it is to
surround herself with intelligent people. He asks how she knows if they're
intelligent.
"I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Queen. "Allow me
to demonstrate."
She phones Tony Blair, puts him on speakerphone, and says, "Mr. Prime
Minister. Please answer this question: Your mother has a child, and your
father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is
it?"
Tony Blair responds ,"It is I, ma'am."
"Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says the Queen.
She hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Bush?"
"Yes, ma'am. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!"
Upon returning to Washington, he decides he'd better put the chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to the test. He summons Jesse
Helms to the White House and says, "Senator Helms, I wonder if you can
answer a question for me."
"Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?"
"Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child
is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Helms hems and haws and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get
back to you?"
Bush agrees, and Helms leaves. Helms immediately calls a meeting of other
senior Republican senators, and they puzzle over the question for several
hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Helms
calls Colin Powell at the State Department and explains his problem.
"Now lookee here, son, your mother has a child, and your father has a
child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course, you fool."
Much relieved, Helms rushes back to the White House and exclaims, "I
know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's Colin Powell!"
Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, you idiot, it's Tony Blair!"
