Bill Gates organised an enormous session to recruit a new Chairman for Microsoft Europe. 5000 candidates assembled in a large room. One candidate was Saqlain, a Pakistani living in USA. Bill Gates thanked all the candidates for coming and asked those who did not know JAVA programming to leave. 2000 people left the room. Saqlain said to himself, “I do not know JAVA, but I have nothing to lose if I stay. I’ll give it a try.” Bill Gates asked the candidates who had no experience of managing more than 100 people to leave. 2000 people left the room. Saqlain said to himself, “I never managed anybody by myself, but I have nothing to lose if I stay. What can happen to me?” So he stayed. Then Bill Gates asked the candidates who did not have management diplomas to leave. 500 people left the room. Saqlain said to himself, “I left school at 15, but what have I got to lose?” So he stayed in the room. Lastly, Bill Gates asked the candidates who did not speak Serbo - Croat to leave. 498 people left the room. Saqlain said to himself, "I do not speak one word of Serbo – Croat, but what do I have to lose? So he stayed and found himself with one other candidate.
Everyone else had gone.
Bill Gates joined them and said, “Apparently you are the only two candidates who have all the required qualifications and experience I am looking for and speak Serbo - Croat, so I’d now like to hear you have a conversation together in that language.”
and…
Calmly, Saqlain turned to the other candidate and said, “Kaisa hai ustaad?” The other candidate answers…
“Oye…tu bhi Pakistani hai???”
