"Spell And Then Define"
.
Asked by his teacher to spell "straight," the
fourth-grade boy did so without error.
.
Then the teacher said:
"Excellent! What is the definition?"
.
"Without water."







And the second grin

"Who Gets the Job?"
.
Young man Paddy applied for an engineering
position at an Irish firm in Dublin. An American
applied for the same job and both applicants
having the same qualifications were asked
to take a test by the manager.
.
Upon completion of the test, both men only
missed one of the questions.
.
The manager went to Paddy and said:
"Thank you for your interest, but we've decided
to give the American the job."
.
Paddy asked:
"And why would you be doing that? We both got
nine questions correct. This being Ireland, and me
being Irish I should get the job!"
.
The manager said:
"We have made our decision not on the correct
answers, but rather on the onequestion that you missed."
.
Paddy then asked:
"And just how would one incorrect answer be
better than the other?"
.
The manager replied:
"Simple, the American put down on question #4;
'I don't know.'
You put down, 'Neither do I'."
