Three blondes were all vying for the last available position on the local California police force. The detective conducting the interview looked at the three of them and said: So, you all want to be a cop, eh?" The blondes nodded. The detective got up, opened a file drawer and pulled out a folder. Sitting back down he opened it up and withdrew a photograph 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, etc. So saying, he stuck the photo in the face of the first blonde and withdrew it after about two seconds.

The man wears contact lenses. The detective frowned, took another look at the picture an! d began looking at some of the papers in the folder. He looked up at the blonde with a puzzled expression and said 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, "DUH! With only one eye and one ear, he certainly CAN'T WEAR GLASSES
