A major International company was looking to hire someone for an
important position, so they interviewed dozens of applicants and narrowed
their search down to three people from different parts of the world. In
an attempt to pick one of them, they decided to give them all the same
question to answer within 24 hours, and the one with the best answer
would get the job.
The question was: A man and a woman are in bed, nude. The woman is
lying on her side with her back facing the man, and the man is lying on
his side facing the woman's back. What is the man's name?
After the 24 hours was up, the three were brought in to give their
answers.
The first, from USA, says 'My answer is, there IS no answer.'
The second, from England , says 'My answer is that there is no way to
determine the answer with the information we were given.'
The third one, from Scotland , says 'I'm not exactly sure, but I have
it narrowed down to two names.
It's either: Willie Turner or Willie Nailer.'
The Scotsman got the job.:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
