    Paddy 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 both men only missed one of the
    questions. The manager went to Paddy and said, "Thank you
    for your interest, but we've decided to give the American the
    job."

    Paddy: "And why would you be doing that? We both got 9
    questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish I
    should get the job!"

    Manager: "We have made our decision not on the correct
    answers, but on the question you missed."

    Paddy: "And just how would one incorrect answer be better
    than the other?"

    Manager: "Simple. The American put down on question # 5, 'I
    don't know.' You put down 'Neither do I.'"
