Two young men applied for an engineering position.

The two
applicants, having the same qualifications, were asked to take a
test by the department manager.

Upon completion of the test both
men missed only one of the questions.

The manager went to the
second of the two and said, "Thank you for your interest, but
we've decided to give the job to the other final applicant.

The rejected applicant said, "And why would you be doing that? We
both got 9 questions correct. May I ask what made you decide to
take the other applicant given the same qualifications and the
same scores on the test?"

"We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but on the
question you missed," the officious manager insisted.

"And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the
other?" asked the rejected applicant.

"Simple, the other applicant answered, "I don't know" on question
#5. You put down, "Neither do I."
