Friday Poser

Three women are interviewing for a job. The male interviewer interviews each one of them separately and finds that they are all extremely qualified and right for the position, making his job difficult. He therefore decides to ask them each a hypothetical question to judge their ethical standards.

"After you receive your first paycheck, you notice an extra thousand dollars in pay. What do you do? Please answer honestly."

The first applicant says, "I would return the extra money immediately."

The second applicant says, "I would put the extra money in an interest bearing account. If the company noticed the error within a year, I would return the money with interest. If not, I would keep it."

The third applicant says, "you want an honest answer, so here goes. I would keep the money because 1) I am legally entitled to it, and 2) perhaps the loss of this money would cause the company to re-examine its accounting practices so that this mistake doesn't happen again."

Which one gets the job?
