HILARIOUS JOKES AND HUMOR ARCHIVES
A young man named Murphy applied for an engineering position
at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American applied for
the same job and both applicants, having the same
qualifications, were asked to take a test by the department
manager.
Upon completion of the test, both men had only missed one of
the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, "Thank
you for your interest, but we've decided to give the
American the job."
"And why would you be doing that?" asked Murphy. "We both
got 9 questions correct. This being Ireland and me being
Irish I should get the job!"
"We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but
on the question you missed."
"And just how would one incorrect answer be better than
the other?"
"Simple," replied the manager. "On question 5, the American
put down, 'I don't know.' You put down 'Neither do I.'"
Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding:
but that which is in the midst of fools is made
known. -Proverbs 14:33
