A man decides he wants to join the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police).

So he sends in his application to the RCMP Centre in Regina and is invited for an interview.  When he gets to the centre the interviewer tells him he just has to answer a couple of general knowledge questions. 

The first question is, "Who is the Prime Minister of Canada?"  Well this guy is totally stumped.  He is thinking and thinking but nothing is coming to him.  But then, in a flash of inspiration he says, "Is it Paul Martin?"

The interviewer says, "Excellent, excellent. You are doing fine. Here is the second question: What is the capital of Canada?"  Again the man can't think of anything.  After a while as he is just about to give up, he suddenly blurts out, "Is it Ottawa?"  The interviewer says, "Brilliant!  Brilliant!  You're doing tremendously well!  Well above average."

"The third question is: Who killed Jesus Christ?"  This time the man has absolutely no idea, so the interviewer tells him to go on home and think about it and then get back to him the next day with the answer.

When the man gets home his wife asks, "How did it go, darling.  Did you get the job?  and he says, "Well I've got to go back and see the guy again tomorrow ... but I reckon I'm in."
