Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young Engineer fresh out of Texas A&M, "And what starting salary were you looking for?" The Engineer said, "In the neighbourhood 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, a company matching retirement fund for 50% of your 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 don't myself.
I've seen it here before, it ought to be in the Jokes area and in your version the interviewer doesn't quote a salary level so the engineer should not really have been wowed at all

Engineers are the backbone of the company.. Depending on what sort of an engineer he was it could be funny..
