WRONG ANSWER

A Negro fellow by he name of Tyrone applied for a fork lift operator job at a famous firm based in Detroit . A white man by the name of George applied for the same job and since both applicants had  similar qualifications, they were asked to take a test and led to a quiet  room by the manager where there would be no interruptions. 

When the results were in, both men had scored 19 out of 20.  The manager went to Tyrone and said, "Thank you for coming to the interview, but we’ve decided to give George the job." 

Tyrone came unglued.  "And why would you be doing that?  Are you a racist? We both got 9 questions right! This being Detroit and and me being black surely I should get the job." 

With composure, the manager replied, "We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but on  the question you got wrong." 

Tyrone said, "Tell me now, how would one incorrect answer be better than  another?" 

Manager: "Simple. On question number 7 the white guy wrote down, 'I  don’t know.'  You put down, ‘Neither do I.’
