One Wrong Question


Young Boudreaux applied for an engineering job way, way up north in Shreveport. A local man applied for the same job and both 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 question. The manager went up to Boudreaux and said "Thank you for your interest, but we' ve decided to give the local man the job." Boudreaux said "Why

You gonna be doin dat sir, we both got 9 questions right?"

The manager said, "We made our decision not on the correct answers, but on the one you missed."

Boudreaux asked "An jus how da heck would one incorrect answer be mo betta dan da otter?"

The manager replied, "Simple, the local man put down on question #5, 'I don't know,' you put down, 'neither do I.'



Mother in law in Jerusalem


George went on a vacation to the Middle East with most of his family, including his mother-in-law.
 
  During their vacation, and while they were visiting Jerusalem, George's mother-in-law died.
 
  With the death certificate in hand, George went to the American Consulate Office to make arrangements to send the body back to the States for proper burial.
 
  The Consul, after hearing of the death of the mother-in-law, told George, "My friend, the sending of a body back to the States for burial is very, very expensive. It could cost as much as $5,000 dollars." The Consul continued, "In most of these cases, the person responsible for the remains normally decides to bury the body here. This would only cost $150 dollars".
 
  George thinks for some time, and answers the Consul, "I don't care how much it will cost to send the body back. That's what I want to do."
 
  The Consul, after hearing this says, "You must have loved your mother-in-law very much, considering the difference in price between $5,000 and $150 dollars."
 
  "No, it's not that," says George.
  "You see, I know of a case many, many years ago of a person that was buried here in Jerusalem, and on the third day he was resurrected. Consequently, I do not want to take that chance!"

The hearse and the dog

A man was walking back home when he noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery.
 
  A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50 feet behind. Behind the second hearse was a solitary man walking with a dog. Behind that were 200 men walking in a single file.
 
  He respectfully approached the man walking with the dog and said, "I am so sorry for your loss, and I know now is a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral procession like this. Whose funeral is it?"
 
  The man replied, "Well, that first hearse is for my wife. My dog attacked and killed her."
 
  He inquired further, "Well, who is in the second hearse?"
 
  The man answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife when the dog turned on her."
 
  After a moment of silence he asked, "Can I borrow the dog?"
 
  The man with the dog replied,
  "Get in line."
