Three blonde's 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 blonde's all nodded. 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 too!" 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
wear glasses.
