    Lightbulb BBC WELDER ANSWERED A HELP WANTED AD



    Seeking a Professional welder with pay ranging $18-$28 an hour. When he arrived he was told he would have to take a welding test. He turned in two sets of welds, the first was the worst weld anyone has ever seen and the second weld was absolute perfection, a thing of beauty. When the boss asked him why he did this, the man replied "The first one is $18 an hour, the second one is $28 an hour."

    No one can be wrong that often so it has to be deliberate.
