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. |
