Three Eager Blondes

Three blondes were all applying for the last available position in the Detective Division of the Dallas, Texas, Police Department. The detective conducting the interview looked at the three of them and said, "So, y'all wanna be cops, huh?"

The blondes all nodded eagerly.

The detective got up, opened a file drawer, and pulled out a folder. Sitting back down, he opened the folder 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 picture in the face of the first blonde and withdrew it after a few seconds. "Now, did you notice any distinguishing features on this man?"

The blonde immediately answered, "Yes, Sir, I did! He only has one eye!"

The detective shook his head and said, "Of course he only has one eye in this picture! It's a profile of his face! You're dismissed!!!!"

The first blonde hung her head and walked sadly out of the office.

The detective then turned to the second blonde, stuck the photograph in her face for a few seconds, pulled it away and asked, "What about you? Notice anything unusual or outstanding about this man?"

"Oh, 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! Your'e dismissed, too!"

The second blonde turned and walked sheepishly out of the office.

The detective turned his attention to the third and last blonde and said wearily, "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 replied eagerly, "I sure did! I just bet 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, "Why, 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."
