A policeman was interrogating 3 blondes
who were training to become detectives. To test their skills in
recognizing a suspect, he shows the first blonde a picture for 5
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...that's because the picture shows his profile."
Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture
for 5 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, "Hmmmm.. the suspect wears contact
lenses."
The policeman is surprised and speechless because he
really doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or
not. "Well, that's an interesting answer ... wait here for a few
minutes while I check his file and I'll get back to you on that." He
leaves the room and goes to his office, checks the suspect's file
in his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face.
"Wow! I can't 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."
