El Presidente Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 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 put down..... 'Neither do I.’ " 3
thetek Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Reminds me of a joke with a similar setup... The FBI was recruiting for a newly opened position. After hundreds of applicants, it narrowed the field down to just three men, Stephen, Marcus and Jessie. Agent Daniels brought the three men into a waiting room to brief them on the final criteria that would decide the best man for the job. "We brought you in today due to your extraordinary abilities that we think make each of you an excellent candidate to join the bureau. However, one of the most important qualities that we need to test for today is your dedication." "The final test to decide which of you three stands behind this door to my left." Agent Daniels pulls out a pistol, "take this gun, which is fully loaded and walk into the room. Inside this room, waiting, is your wife." The three men were stunned. Daniels continued, "to prove your loyalty to the FBI, and to show that you can be trusted, you must go in there and kill your wife. Stephen, you're first." Stephen stands up, his shaking hands receive the gun. Looking back, he opens the door, then walks into the room. A few minutes pass. He walks out of the room, trembling, and says "I... I can't... I love her too much." He hands the gun to Daniels, and takes a seat, rejected. "Alright, well then, Marcus, you're up." Daniels hands the gun to Marcus. Marcus takes a deep breath, then walks into the room. Again, several minutes pass, before Marcus walks out, shaking his head. "I just can't do it either. She's my soulmate," Marcus says. "Your turn Jessie," Daniels hands the gun to Jessie. Jessie walks into the room. A minute passes. Then a gunshot goes off. Then another, and another, then several more. A few minutes pass in silence. Jessie emerges from the room. Stephen and Marcus are wide eyed and shocked, both asking "what happened in there!?" Jessie hands the gun to Daniels and replies, "Well, I tried to shoot my wife but the goddamn gun was full of blanks. So I had to strangle the ***** with my barehands!" 1
