Johnny thought he'd have a good shot at a local engineering job at a Lake Charles refinery. Bob traveled 500 miles to apply 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 Johnny and said: "Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to give Bob the job." Johnny asked: "And why are you giving him the job? We both got nine questions correct. I'm a local boy and I should get the job!"
