Three Blondes were all applying for the last
available position on the California Highway Patrol.
The detective conducting the interview looked at
the three of them and said, "So y'all want to be
cops, huh?" The blondes all nodded.
The detective got up, opened a file drawer and
pulled out a folder. Sitting back down, he opened
it 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 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 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 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,
Helloooo! With only one eye and one ear, he
certainly can't wear glasses."
