Who Got The Job

Bubba applied for an engineering position at a Lake Charles refinery.

A Yankee applied for the same job and both applicants having the same qualifications were asked to take a test by the manager.

Upon completion of the test, both men only missed one of the questions. The manager went to Bubba and said:

'Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to give the Yankee the job.'

Bubba asked: 'And why are you giving him the job? We both got nine questions correct. This being Louisiana, and me being a Southern boy I should get the job!'

The manager said: 'We have made our decision not on the correct answers but rather on the one question that you both missed.'

Bubba then asked: 'And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?'

The manager replied: 'Bubba, its like this. On question #4 the Yankee put down; 'I don't know.'

You put down, 'Neither do I'.

Thanks Jim A.!!!
