Hard Of Ear-Ring
|
Bob was in a terrible accident at work. He fell through a floor tile and ripped off both of his ears. Since he was permanently disfigured, he settled with the company for a rather large sum of money and went on his way. One day, Bob decided to invest his money in a small, but growing telecom business. After weeks of negotiations, he bought the company outright. But, after signing on the dotted line, he realized that he knew nothing about running such a business and quickly set out to hire someone who could do that for him. The next day he had set up three interviews. The first guy was great. He knew everything he needed to and was very interesting. At the end of the interview, Bob asked him, "Do you notice anything different about me?" The gentleman answered, "Why yes, I couldn't help but notice you have no ears." Bob got very angry and threw him out. The second interview was with a woman, and she was even better than the first guy. He asked her the same question, "Do you notice anything different about me?" and she replied, "Well, you don't have any ears." Bob again was upset and tossed her out. The third and last interview was the best of all three. It was with very young woman who was fresh out of college. She was smart. She was well-spoken. And she seemed to be a better businessperson than the first two put together. Bob was anxious, but went ahead and asked the young woman the same question: "Do you notice anything different about me?" And to his surprise, the young woman answered, "Yes. You wear contact lenses." Bob was shocked, and said, "What an incredibly observant young woman. How in the world did you know that?" The young woman replied, "Well, it's pretty hard to wear glasses with no ears!" |
