NASA was interviewing professionals to be sent to Mars. Only
one could go, but with one catch - he couldn't return to Earth.

The first applicant, an engineer, was asked how much he wanted
to be paid for going. "One million dollars," he answered,
"because I want to donate it to M.I.T."

The next applicant, a doctor, was asked the same question. He
asked for two million. "I want to give a million to my family,"
he explained, "and leave the other million for the advancement
of medical research." The last applicant was a lawyer. When
asked how much money he wanted, he whispered in the
interviewer's ear, "Three million dollars."

"Why so much more than the others?" the interviewer asked.

The lawyer replied, "If you give me $3 million, I'll give you
$1 million, I'll keep $1 million, and we'll send the engineer."
