Upon completion of the test both men only missed one of the
questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, "Thank you
for your interest, but we've decided to give the American the
job."

Murphy: "And why would you be doing that? We both got 9
questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish I
should get the job!"

Manager: "We have made our decision not on the correct
answers, but on the question you missed."

Murphy: "And just how would one incorrect answer be better
than the other?"

Manager: "Simple. The American put down on question # 5, 'I
don't know.' You put down 'Neither do I.'"
