Job Application

[BB1950]

Tyrone applied for a fork lift operator job at a famous

firm based in Detroit.

A white man 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 Tyrone and said, "Thank you for

coming to the interview, but we've decided to give the white guy the

job."

Tyrone, "And why would you be doing that, are you a

racist? We both got 19 questions right? This being

Detroit and me being Black surely I should get the

job."

Manager, " We have made our decision not on the correct

answers, but on the question you got wrong."

Tyrone said, " Tell me now, how would one incorrect

answer be better than another?"

Manager, " Simple. On question number 7 the white guy wrote

down, 'I don't know. You put down, 'Neither do I.'
