Bubba applied for an engineering position at a Russell Project in Georgia.
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 Georgia, 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, its like this.
On question #4 the Yankee put down; "I don't know."
You put down, "Neither do I."
