Joe and Bob decide to apply for jobs at a mine that had opened nearby.

After sitting in the waiting room for a while, Bob gets called in for his interview.

The boss asks Bob if he had worked underground mines before? Banta says that he had.

The boss asks him how deep under ground he worked?

Bob says, “Oh, about 8 to 10 feet.”

The boss says, “Mines are a lot deeper than that, get out of here – you’re no miner!”

On his way out, Bob tells Joe to tell the boss that he worked real deep underground so he could get the job. Joe gets called in.

The boss asks Joe if he had worked underground mines before?

Joe says, “Oh sure.”

The boss asks how deep underground he worked.

Joe says, “I used to work in a mine 20,000 feet underground.”

The boss says, “20,000 feet, Wow! That is incredible!, “What kind of lights did you use in a mine so deep underground?”

Joe says, “Oh, I didn’t need a light, I worked on the day shift!”
