MEMORANDUM
                                       
TO: Jesus, Son of Joseph, Woodcrafters Shop, Nazareth
FROM: Jordan Management Consultants, Jerusalem
SUBJECT: Staff Aptitude Evaluation
   
Thank you for submitting the resumes of the 12 men you have
picked for management positions in your new organization. All of
them have now taken our battery of tests, and we have not only
run them with our psychologist and vocational aptitude
consultant.
   
It is the staff opinion that most of you nominees are lacking in
background, education and vocational aptitude for the type of
enterprise you are undertaking. They do not have the team
concept. We would recommend that you continue your search for
persons of experience in managerial ability and proven
capability.
   
Simon Peter is emotionally unstable and given to fits of temper.
Andrew has absolutely no qualities of leadership. The two
brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, place personal
interest above company loyalty. Thomas demonstrates a questioning
attitude that would tend to undermine morale. We feel that it is
our duty to tell you that Matthew has been blacklisted by the
Greater Jerusalem Better Business Bureau. James, the son of
Alphaeus, and Thaddeus definitely have radical leanings, and they
both registered a high score on the manic depressive scale.
   
One of the candidates, however, shows great potential. He is a
man of ability and resourcefulness, meets people well, has a keen
business mind and has contact in high places. He is highly
motivated, ambitious and innovative. We recommend Judas Iscariot
as your controller and right hand man. All the other profiles are
self-explanatory.
   
We wish you every success in your new venture.
