Linda ----applied for an secretarial position at a Little Rock insurance company.
A Yankee woman applied for the same job and both applicants having the same qualifications were asked to take a test by the manager.
Upon completion of the test, both women only missed one of the questions.
The manager went to Linda and said: "Thank you for your interest but we've decided to give the Yankee the job."
Linda asked: "And why are you giving her the job? We both got nine
questions correct. This being Arkansas, and me being a Southern girl I should get the job!"
The manager said: "We have made our decision not on the correct answers,
but rather on the one question that you both missed."
Linda then asked: "And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?"
The manager replied: " Linda, it's like this... on question #4, the
Yankee put down, "I don't know." And you put down, "Neither do I."
