Boudreaux

Boudreaux applied for an engineering position at a St.James Parish Refinery.
 
A Yankee 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 men only missed one of the questions.
 
The manager went to Boudreaux and said: "Thank you for your interest,
but we've decided to give the Yankee the job."
 
Boudreaux asked: "And why are you giving him the job? We both got nine
questions correct. This being Louisiana, and me being a cajun 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."
 
Boudreaux then asked: "And just how would one incorrect answer be
better than the other?" The manager replied: "Boudreaux its like
this, on question #4 the Yankee put down; "I don't know" You put
down, "Neither do I"

Sometimes you have to go out on a limb to turn over a new leaf

Don't trust his words, trust his actions.
