Who got the Job?
Two men from very different educational backgrouds went to NY City for a job interview.
One man was a Harvard graduate and very distinguished, and the other was a good old boy that attended a small community college in southern Mississippi.
Both men entered the personel managers office at the same time. When they were seated the manager told them, " You are the two finalists for the job. Your equally qualified to do the job. There is one test I like to use as the final measuring stick when deciding who should be hired in our office. I would like you both to go back out to the lobby and write me a poem that rymes with Timbuktoo somewhere in the poem. I can tell a lot about a man through poetry."
The Harvard grad finished first. His poem read:
" I took a trip upon a ship across the ocean blue "
" Aboard a Spanish frigate that was bound for Timbuktoo."
" Not bad at all my friend," said the manager. " That is the best poem I have ever heard from an applicant."
The good old boy went second with a heavy heart. He felt he didn't do well at all.
His poem went something like this:
" Tim and I to the desert went."
" Where three whores had pitched a tent."
" Since they was three and weez just two."
" I bucked one while Tim bucked two."
Who got the job?
Tim.
