Bad luck

With a pile of 300 résumés on his desk and a need to pick someone quickly, my boss told me to make calls on the bottom 50 and toss the rest.

"Throw away 250 résumés?"
I asked, shocked. "What if the best candidates are in there?"
"You have a point," he said.
"But then again, I don't need people with bad luck here."
