Bluefront, you may be able to read, but you must not comprehend or put much together much of what your read even when you write it.
Yup, the kid might not be the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but he should have no trouble getting that Post Office job Bluefront failed the test for.

I guess being able to read wasn't why you failed.
Just in case this is tough for you, I'll spell it out. You could not have failed the PO test because you can read because you clearly stated that he got the job instead of you because you can read, and this despite the fact that earlier you explained that he can read.
Please make your next story about the beautiful Spirit of St Louis or the beauty of the sky.
