John 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, John 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, John asked him, "Do you notice
anything different about me?"
The gentleman answered, "Why yes, I couldn't help but notice
you have no ears."
John was 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 have no ears." John again was upset and tossed her
out.
The third and last interview was the best of all three. It
was with a very young man who was fresh out of college. He was
smart. He was handsome and he seemed to be a better businessman
than the first two put together. John was anxious, but went
ahead and asked the young man the same question: "Do you notice
anything different about me?"
And to his surprise, the young man answered: "Yes. You
wear
contact lenses."
John was shocked, and said, "What an incredibly observant
young man. How in the world did you know that?"
"Well it's pretty hard to wear glasses with no fucking
ears!"
