Deputy Sheriff Interview

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!"

Good one, Brit. I love the lad's irrepresable spirit!
