The local sheriff was looking for a deputy, so Gomer 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 wanted, but he's right."
"What two days of the week start with T?"
"Today and tomorrow."
The sheriff 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 on home and work on that one for a while?"
So Gomer wandered over to the barbershop where his pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview.
Gomer was exultant. "It went great!" he told them. "First day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!"
