A young man named Murphy applied for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American also applied for the same job. Both applicants had the same qualifications and were asked to take a test by the department manager.

Upon completion of the test, both men had missed only one of the questions.

The manager went to Murphy and said, "Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to give the American the job."

Murphy said, "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!"

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

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

The manager said, "It's simple. The American answered 'I don't know' to question number 5. You put down 'Neither do I.'"

Received from Thomas Ellsworth.
