Chief Engineer
Bubba applied for an engineering position at a Shreveport, La., 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, it's like this. On question No.4 the Yankee put down; "I don't know.
"You put down, "Neither do I."
