THIS THREAD IS GETTING TOO QUIET AGAIN!!!!!
WORK ACCIDENT
Merv 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, Merv decided to invest his money in a small, but
growing internet company. 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, Merv asked him, "Do you notice
anything different about me?" And the gentleman answered, "Why
yes, I couldn't help but notice you have no ears."
Merv got 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."
Merv 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. Merv 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." Merv was shocked, and said, "What an incredibly
observant young man. How in the world did you know that?"
The young man fell off his chair laughing hysterically and
replied, "Well, it's pretty damn hard to wear glasses with
no ears!" |
