Three blondes were all applying for the last available position on the
Arkansas Highway Patrol. The detective conducting the interview looked
At the three of them and said, "So ya'all want to be cops, huh?" The
blondes all nodded in the affirmative.
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, "To 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."
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 blond 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, Hellooooooooooooo! With only
One eye and one ear, he certainly can't wear glasses."
