Reaching the end of a job interview, the human resources person asked a young engineer fresh out of MIT what kind of a salary he was looking for.

 "In the neighborhood of $140,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."

 "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?"

 "Wow! Are you kidding?"

 "Yeah, but you started it."
