Copycat...Looool

Two men, Robert and
James, applied for an
engineering position.
Both applicants having the same
qualifications were asked to take
a test by the department
manager.
Upon completion of the exam
both men only missed one of the
questions. The manager went to
Robert and said, "Thank you for
your interest, but we've decided
to give James the job."
Robert replied, "Why? We both
correctly answered nine
questions. I believe I should get
this job, especially since I've
grown up in this town and
James just moved here."
The manager said, "We made our
decision not on the correct
answers, but on the question
you missed."
"How could one incorrect answer
be better than the other?," asked
Robert.
"Simple," said the manager.
"James put down on question #
5, 'I don't know', and you put
down, 'Neither do I.'"
