Simple Simon applied for a deputy sheriff's job. In the interview,
the sheriff asked him, "What's one and one?"
Simon
answered, "Eleven."
This
wasn't what the sheriff meant, but he had to admit the boy was right.
Next question: "What two days of the week start with the letter
'T'?"
"Today
and tomorrow."
The
sheriff was impressed by the way Simon thought outside the box,
so he challenged him. "Who killed Abraham Lincoln?"
Simon
looked surprized and admitted, "I don't know."
"Well,
go home and work on that for a while," replied the sheriff,
satisfied that he'd stumped him.
Simon
went home and told his mother, "The interview went great! First
day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!" |
