My Brethren, Ginnal, applied for an
engineering position at a Kingston based firm.
A Trini Engineer applied for the same job and both
applicants having the same qualifications were asked to take
a test by the department manager.
Upon completion of the test, the manager went to Ginnal and
said,"Thank you for your interest, but we've
decided to give the man from Trinidad the job."
Ginnal asked, "Suh why yu do dat? Boat a wi get nine
questions rite. Dis is Jumaika, and me is Jumaikan, A me
shudd a get de wuk!"
The manager said, "We have made our decision, not on
the correct answers, but rather on the question that you
both missed."
Ginnal asked, "An how in the name of Jesus yu decide
sey one wrong answer betta dan de adda?"
The manager replied, "Simple. The Trini boy put down
on question #5, 'I don't know.' You put down,
'Me no know eeda.'"
