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 it’s like this, on question #4,
the Yankee put down; "I don't know" and you put down, "Neither
do I."
