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."
