Troy had finally made it to his doctor's office for a long overdue appointment.

"Well, Troy," the scowling doctor said, "I see you're well over a month late for your appointment. Don't you realize that nervous disorders require prompt and regular attention. What's your excuse?"

"I was simply following your orders, Doc," Troy replied.

"Following my orders?" the confused doctor said. "What are you going on about? I gave you no such order."

"You told me to avoid people who irritate me," explained Troy.

Bubba applied for an engineering position at a Shreveport, La., refinery.

A Yankee 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 Bubba and said: "Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to give the Yankee the job."

Bubba asked: "And why are you giving him the job?? We both got nine questions correct. This being Louisiana and me being a Southern boy, I should get the job!"

The manager said: "We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but, rather, on the one question that you both missed."

Bubba then asked: "And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?"

The manager replied: "Bubba, it's like this. On question No.4 the Yankee put down; "I don't know. "You put down, "Neither do I."
