The Forklift Job Liam O’Toole applied for a forklift job at an Irish firm based in Dublin. A Norwegian applied for the same job and since both applicants had similar qualifications, they were asked to take a test and were led to a quiet room by the manager. When the test results were in, both men had scored 19 out of 20. The manager went to O’Toole and said, “Thank you for coming to the interview, but we’ve decided to hire the Norwegian.” “And why would you be doing that?” replied O’Toole. “We both got 19 questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish surely I should get the job?” The manager responded, “We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but on the question you got wrong.” “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than another?” “That’s simple,” the boss replied. “The Norwegian wrote ‘I don’t know’ on question number 7.” “You wrote, ‘Neither do I.’” =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= DRSS; NRA; Illinois State Rifle Association; Missouri Sport Shooting Association “One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce, and canonized those who complain.” – Thomas Sowell, “The Vision Of The Anointed: Self-Congratulation As A Basis For Social Policy” . | ||

I think everyone knows the one about "Why Paddy (the brick layers apprentice) didn't come to work today." If not, let me know + I'll tell it again. Never mistake motion for action. | |||
