English Original
The local sheriff in a small suburban town was looking for a deputy. He posted ads in the paper, and sure enough, Lisa, a wonderful-looking blonde, went in to try out for the job. She wasn't the sharpest nail in the bucket, but seeing as she had a natural charisma about her, the sheriff gave her an interview.
"Okay," the sheriff drawled, "Lisa, what is 1 and 1?"
"11!" she enthusiastically replied.
The sheriff thought to himself, "That's not what I meant, but she's right in a way..."
"Okay, Lisa. What two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?"
"Shucks, that's easy," the blonde replied. "Today and tomorrow!"
The sheriff was again surprised that Lisa supplied a correct answer he had never thought of himself.
He thought of his next question carefully to make sure there could be no equivocation about the answer:
"Now Lisa, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?"
Lisa looked a little surprised, 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," the sheriff replied with satisfaction.
So, Lisa wandered over to the salon where her pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview.
"How'd it go?" they all asked.
Lisa was ecstatic. "It went great! First day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!"

一个小镇郊区的警长正在招聘副手。他在报纸上登了广告，果然，一位漂亮的金发女郎丽莎前来应聘。她并非最聪明的人，但鉴于她有一种天生的魅力，警长还是给了她面试机会。
"好吧，"警长慢吞吞地说，"丽莎，1加1等于几？"
"11！"她热情地回答道。
警长心想："这不是我想问的意思，但从某个角度看，她是对的……"
"好吧，丽莎。一周中哪两天是以字母'T'开头的？"
"哎呀，这太简单了，"金发女郎回答。"今天和明天！"
警长再次惊讶地发现，丽莎给出了一个他自己从未想到过的正确答案。
他仔细思考了下一个问题，以确保答案没有歧义：
"现在，丽莎，仔细听好：是谁杀了亚伯拉罕·林肯？"
丽莎看起来有点惊讶，努力思考了一分钟，最后承认："我不知道。"
"好吧，那你先回家，好好研究一下这个问题吧，"警长满意地回答道。
于是，丽莎溜达到了美发沙龙，她的朋友们正在那里等待面试结果。
"面试怎么样？"她们都问。
丽莎欣喜若狂。"棒极了！上班第一天，我就已经在处理一桩谋杀案了！"
