   Roger Nelson to All   
   St Patrick's Day (was never like this)   
   15 Mar 15 10:46:50   
   
   Happy St. Pat's day.   
       
   Getting ready for March 17th!   
       
   Murphy applied for a fork lift operator post at a famous Irish firm based in   
   Dublin.   
       
   A Norwegian applied for the same job and since both applicants had similar   
   qualifications, they were asked to take a test and led to a quiet room with no   
   interruptions by the Manager.   
       
   When the results were in, both men had scored 19 out of 20.   
       
   The manager went to Murphy and said, "Thank you for coming to the interview,   
   but we've decided to give the Norwegian the job."   
       
   Murphy: "And why would you be doing that? We both got 19 questions correct.   
   This being Ireland and me being Irish surely I should get the job."   
       
   Manager: "We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but on the   
   question you got wrong."   
       
   Murphy: "And just how would one incorrect answer be better than another?"   
       
   Manager: "Simple; on question number 7 the Norwegian wrote down, 'I don't   
   know.' You wrote down, 'Neither do I.'"   
       
       
   Regards,   
       
   Roger
