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've 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.'"
