Three Detectives

A policeman was testing 3 brothers who were training to become
detectives.

To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first one a
picture for 5 seconds and then hides it. 'This is your suspect, how
would you recognize him?'

The first one 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 I showed is his side profile.'

Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture
for 5 seconds at the second one and asks him, 'This is your suspect, and
how would you recognize him?'

The second one smiles 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 side profile! Is that the best answer you can come
up with?'

Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third
one 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.' He looks
at the picture intently for a moment and says, '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,' he replied. 'He can't wear regular glasses because he
only has one eye and one ear.'
