A Norwegian also applied for the same job. Since both applicants had similar qualifications they were asked to sit for a test and were led to a quiet room where they would not be interrupted.
When the results were in, both men had scored 19 out of 20.
The manager went to Paddy and said, "Thank you for coming to the interview, but we've decided to give the Norwegian the job.”
Paddy said,... "And why would you be doing that? We both got 19 questions correct and this being Ireland and me being Irish surely I should get the job.”
The Manager replied, "We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but on the question you got wrong.”
Paddy started to get annoyed and asked, "And just how would one incorrect answer be better than another?”
The Manager said, "Simple; on question number 7 the Norwegian wrote down, 'I don't know'.
You put down, ˜Neither do I".
