Irish Engineer

Young man Murphy applied for an engineering

position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An

American applied for the same job and both applicants

having the same qualifications were asked to

take a test by the department manager.

Upon completion of the test, the manager went

to Murphy and said, "Thank you for your interest,

but we've decided to give the American the job."

Murphy asked, "And why would you be doing that?

We both got nine questions correct. This being

Ireland, and me being Irish, I should get the

job!"

The manager said, "We have made our decision,

not on the correct answers, but rather on the

question that you missed."

Murphy asked, "And how would one incorrect

answer be better than the other?"

The manager replied, "Simple. The American put

down on question #5, 'I don't know.' You put

down, 'Neither do I.'"

Good one. I think it could be any two countries, just happens it's America and Ireland in this telling. I can't say that I think any Irish would be offended anyhow (I'm not, though I'm probably conflicted since I'm both).
