“You  are  employed,”  he said.  “Give  me  your  e-mail  address and I’ll send you the application form to fill in, as well as the date when you may start.”

The man replied, “But I don't have a computer or an e-mail.”

“I’m sorry,”said  the  HR  manager,  “If  you don't have an e-mail, that mean you do not exist. And the one who doesn't exist cannot have the job.”
