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?"
Themanager replied: "Bubba, it's like this. On question No. 4 the Yankeeput down, 'I don't know'. You put down, 'Neither do I'."
