| Three blondes were all applying for the last available position on the Oceanside Police Force. The detective conducting the interview looked at the three of them and said, âSo you all want to be cops, huh?â The blondes all nodded. The detective got up, opened a file drawer, and pulled out a folder. Sitting back down he opened it, pulled out a picture, and said, âTo be a detective, you have to be able to detect. You must be able to notice things such as distinguishing features and oddities like scars and so forth.â So saying that, he stuck the photo in the face of the first blonde and withdrew it after about two seconds. âNow,â he said, âdid you notice any distinguishing features about this man?â The blonde immediately said, âYes, I did, he has only one eye!â The detective shook his head and said, âOf course he has only one eye in this picture! Itâs a profile of his face! Youâre dismissed!â 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, âWhat about you? Notice anything unusual or outstanding about this man?â âYes, He only has one ear!â The detective put his head in his hands and exclaimed, âDidnât you hear what I just told the other lady? This is a profile of the manâs face! Of course you can only see one ear! Youâre excused too!â The second blonde sheepishly walked out of the office. The detective turned his attention to the third and last blonde and said, âThis is probably a waste of time but ----â He flashed the photo in her face for a couple of seconds and said, âAll right, did you notice anything distinguishing or unusual about this man?â The blonde said, âI sure did. This man wears contact lenses.â 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 and said, âYouâre absolutely right! His bio says he wears contacts! How in the world could you tell that by looking at his picture?â The blonde rolled her eyes and said, âWell, Hellooooooooooooo! With only one eye and one ear, he certainly canât wear glasses!â |
