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.'"
