Slightly lighter subject, Canadian Logic: Steve was in a terrible accident at work. He fell through a floor tile and ripped off both of his ears. Since he permanently disfigured, he settled with the company for a rather large sum of money and went on his way. One day, Steve decided to invest his money in a small, but growing telecom business. And, 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. But at the end of the interview, Steve 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." Steve got very angry and threw him out. The second interview was with a woman, and she was even better than the first guy. But he asked her the same question, "Do you notice anything different about me?" and she replied, "Well, you have no ears." Steve again was upset and tossed her out. On the way out, she passed the third guy and said "Listen, whatever you do, don't say he hasn't got any ears. He's touchy about the ear thing." "Okay," said the third guy on his way into the office. Steve liked the third guy. He was smart. And he seemed to be a better businessman than the first two put together. Steve 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." Steve 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'd be pretty hard to wear glasses without any f…… ears!"
