Murphy

Murphy applied for a job at a famous Irish firm based in Dublin.

An Australian applied for the same job and since both applicants had similar qualifications, they were asked to take a test by the Manager.

When the results were in, amazingly, both men had only one wrong answer.

The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for coming to the interview, but we’ve decided to give the Australian the job."

Murphy asked, "And why would you be doing that? We both got nineteen questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish surely I should get the job."

The manager replied, “We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but on the question you missed."

Murphy, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?"

Manager, “Simple. On question number seven the Australian wrote down, 'I don’t know.' “

You put down, "Neither do I."

I once had the answer book to Maths questions nicked from my classroom. The culprit was unmasked when, on marking homework, I got the response "Accept estimate in the range...........". He never admitted to pinching it though.
