Scottish Lateral Thinking

A major International company was looking to hire someone
for an important position, so they interviewed dozens of applicants
and narrowed their search down to three people
from different parts of the world.

In an attempt to pick one of them, they decided to give them all
the same question to answer within 24 hours,
and the one with the best answer would get the job.
The question was:

"A man and a woman are in bed, nude.
The woman is lying on her side
with her back facing the man,
and the man is lying his side
facing the woman's back.

What is the man's name?"

After the 24 hours was up, the three
were brought in to give their answers.

The first, from Canada says
"My answer is, there IS no answer."

The second, from England, says
"My answer is that there is no
way to determine the answer
with the information we were given."

The third one, from Scotland, says

"I'm not exactly sure, but I have it narrowed down to two names.
It's either: Willie Turner or Willie Nailer?"

The Scotsman got the job.
