A local sheriff was looking for a deputy

A local sheriff was looking for a deputy,
So a blonde went in to try out for the job.

After a series of questions that the blonde failed,
The sheriff asked in desperation one final question:

"now, listen carefully:
Who killed abraham lincoln?"

The blonde looked a little surprised,
Then thought really hard for a minute
And finally admitted:

"i don't know!"

"well, why don't you go home
And work on that one for a while?"

So, the blonde wandered over to a restaurant
Where some friends were waiting to hear
the results of the interview.

The blonde couldn't be happier.

"it's my first day on the job,
And it went great.
i'm already working on a murder case!"
