Three blondes were applying for the last available position on the Maine
>>State Police. The detective conducting the interview looked at the
three
>>of them and said, "So ya'll want to be a cop, eh?"
>>
>>The blondes all nodded.
>>
>>The detective got up, opened a file drawer and pulled out a file folder.
>>Sitting back down, he opened it up 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,
etc."
>>
>>So saying, he stuck the photo in the face of the first blonde and
withdrew
>>it after about 2 seconds. "Now, he said, "Did you notice any
>>distinguishing features about the 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 2 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 hand 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 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
this
>>picture?"
>>
>>The blonde rolled her eyes and said, "Well, Duh! With only one eye and
>one
>>ear, he certainly can't wear glasses!"
