Blondes Detectives

[atma]

A policeman interrogates three blondes who are training to become

detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the

first blonde a picture for five seconds and then hides it. "This is your

suspect, how would you recognize him?"

 

The first blonde answers, "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he

only has one eye!"

 

The policeman says, "Well, uh, thats because the picture shows his

profile."

 

Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture

for five seconds at the second blonde and asks her, "This is your

suspect, how would you recognize him?"

 

The second blonde giggles, flips her hair 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

profile! Is that the best answer you can come up with?"

 

Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third

blonde 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."

 

The blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, "Hmm, the

suspect wears contact lenses."

 

The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know

if the suspect wears contacts or not. "Well, that's an interesting

answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file."

 

He leaves the room and goes to his office, checks the suspects file in

his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face. "Wow! I

cant 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," the blonde replied. "He can't wear regular glasses because

he only has one eye and one ear."
