A
policeman interrogates three blondes who are training to become detectives.
To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first blonde a picture
for five seconds and then hides it. "This is your suspect, how would you
recognize him?"
The
first blonde answers, "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he only
has one eye!"
The
policeman says, "Well, uh, thats because the picture shows his profile."
Slightly
flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for five seconds
at the second blonde and asks her, "This is your suspect, how would you
recognize him?"
The
second blonde giggles, flips her hair and says, "Ha! He'd be too easy to
catch because he only has one ear!"
The
policeman angrily responds, "What's the matter with you two?! Of course
only one eye and one ear are showing because it's a picture of his profile!
Is that the best answer you can come up with?"
Extremely
frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a
very testy voice asks, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"
He quickly adds, "Think hard before giving me a stupid answer."
The
blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, "Hmm, the suspect
wears contact lenses."
The
policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know if the
suspect wears contacts or not. "Well, that's an interesting answer. Wait
here for a few minutes while I check his file."
He
leaves the room and goes to his office, checks the suspects file in his computer,
and comes back with a beaming smile on his face. "Wow! I cant believe it.
It's true! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were
you able to make such an astute observation?"
"That's
easy," the blonde replied. "He can't wear regular glasses because
he only has one eye and one ear."
