A brilliant young boy was applying for a job with the railways. The interviewer asked him: "Do you know how to use the equipment?" "Yes", the boy replied. "Then what would you do if you realized that 2 trains, one from this station and one from the next were going to crash because they were on the same track?" The young applicant thought and replied "I'd press the button to change the points without hesitation." "What if the button was frozen and wouldn't work?" "I'd run outside and pull the lever to change the points manually" "And if the lever was broken?" "I'd get on the phone to the next station and tell them to change the points," he replied. "And if the phone was broken and needed an electrician to fix it?" The boy thought about that one. "I'd run into town and get my uncle" "Is your uncle an electrician?" "No, but he's never seen a train crash before!"
一个醒目的小伙子去申请一份铁路上的工作.
面试官问他:"你知道怎么使用设备吗?"
"是的,"男孩回答.
"如果你意识到有二列火车,一列是从这里出发,一列是从下一站出发,由于在同一条轨道上,马上要相撞了,你会怎么做?"
年轻的申请者想了一下说,"我会毫不迟疑地按键改变目的地."
"如果按键冻住了,按不下去怎么办?"
"我会跑出去人工拉杆来改变目的地."
"如果杆子坏了怎么办?"
"我会打电话给下一个站,让他们来改道."他回答.
"如果电话坏了,需要电工修理怎么办?"
男孩想了一下说:"我就跑去镇上找我叔叔."
"你叔叔是电工?"
"不是,只是他还从来没有看到火车相撞过."
