Three blondes were all
applying for the last available position on the
Texas Highway Patrol. The detective conducting the interview
looked at the three of them and said, "So y'all want to be cops, huh?"
The detective got up,
opened a file drawer and pulled out a folder.
Sitting back down, he opened it and pulled out a picture, and said,
"To be a detective, you have to be able to detect. You must be
able to notice things such as distinguishing features and oddities
such as scars and so forth."
So saying, he stuck the
photo in the face of the first blonde and
withdrew it after about two seconds. "Now," he said, "did you
notice any distinguishing features about this man?"
The blonde immediately
said, "Yes, I did. He has only one eye!
"The detective shook his
head and said, "Of course he has only
one eye in this picture! It's a profile of his face!
You're dismissed!"
The first blonde hung her
head and walked out of the office.
The detective then turned
to the second blonde, stuck the photo in
her face for two seconds, pulled it back and said, "What about you?
Notice anything unusual or outstanding about this man?"
Yes! He only has one ear!"
The detective put his
head in his hands and exclaimed, "Didn't you
hear what I just told the other lady? This is a profile of the
man's
face! Of course you can only see one ear!! You're excused
also!"
The second blonde
sheepishly walked out of the office.
The detective turned his
attention to the third and last blonde and
said, "This is probably a waste of time, but . . " He flashed the
photo
in her face for a couple of seconds and withdrew it, saying, "All
right,
did you notice anything distinguishing or unusual about this man?"
The blonde said, "I sure
did. This man wears contact lenses."
The detective frowned,
took another look at the picture and began
looking at some of the papers in the folder. He looked up at
the
blonde with a puzzled expression and said, "You're absolutely
right!
His bio says he wears contacts! How in the world could you tell
that by looking at his picture?"
The blonde rolled her
eyes and said,
" Well Duh! With only one eye and one ear, he certainly can't weat
glasses!"
