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, it's like this. On question #4 the Yankee put down "I don't know." You put down,
"Neither do I."
