Gomer's Job Interview
The local sheriff was looking for a deputy, so Gomer - who was not exactly the sharpest nail in the bucket went in to try out for the job.
- Okay - the sheriff drawled.
- Gomer, what is 1 and 1?
- 11 - he replied.
The sheriff thought to himself:
- That's not what I meant, but he's right.
- What two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?
- Today and tomorrow.
He was again surprised that Gomer supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself.
- Now Gomer, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?
Gomer looked a little surprised himself, then thought really hard for a minute and finally admitted:
- I don't know.
- Well, why don't you go home and work on that one for a while?
So, Gomer wandered over to the pool hall where his pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview. Gomer was exultant.
- It went great! First day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!
