A not-too-bright candidate for the police force failed in the written
examination.
.
Since he was the Chief's nephew, the examiner decided to go easy on him with the oral test.
.
"Who shot Abraham Lincoln?", asked the examiner.
.
The candidate pondered for a moment and then asked if he could have sometime to come up with the answer.
.
The examiner told him to come back the next morning.
.
When the would-be recruit went home, his wife asked: "Well, how did it go? Did you get the job?"
.
"I think so," he replied. "They have already got me working on a case."
