A Police Officer's Interview

The local sheriff in a small suburban town was looking for a deputy. He posted ads in the paper, and sure enough, Bob, a drunk, went in to try out for the job. He wasn't the sharpest nail in the bucket, but seeing as he had a natural charisma about him, the sheriff gave him an interview...
"Okay," the sheriff drawled, "Bob, what is 1 and 1?"
"11!" he enthusiastically replied.
The sheriff thought to himself, "That's not what I meant, but he's right in a way..."
"Okay, Bob. What two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?"
"Shucks, that's easy," he replied. "Today and tomorrow!"
The sheriff was again surprised that Bob supplied a correct answer that 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 Bob, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?"
Bob 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, Bob wandered over to the salon where his pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview.
"How'd it go?" they all asked.
He was ecstatic. "It went great! First day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!"
