Detective training

[Mungar]

Three guys were pulled out of detective training for special
attention,
because they were not very bright. The boss was interrogating them to
determine if they were smart enough to become detectives. If not, they
couldn't continue with the training. Things had not gone well so far.

To test their skills in recognising a suspect, he shows the first
detective a picture for five seconds and then hides it. "This is your
suspect, how would you recognise him?" he asks.

The first guy answers, "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he
only
has one eye!"

The boss says, "Well...uh...that's because the picture only shows his
PROFILE."

Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the
picture
for five seconds at the second guy and asks him, "This is your suspect,
how would you recognise him?"

The second guy laughs, rolls his eyes and says, "Ha! He'd be too easy
to
catch because he only has one ear!"

The boss 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
guy
and in a very testy voice asks, "This is your suspect, how would you
recognise him?" He quickly adds, "..think hard before giving me a stupid
answer."

The guy looks at the picture intently for a moment and says,
"Hmmmm...
the suspect wears contact lenses."

The boss is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know
himself if the suspect wears contacts or not. "Well that is an
interesting answer... wait here a few minutes while I check this file and
I'll get back to you on that."

He leaves the room and goes into his office, checks the suspect's
file in
his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face.

"Wow, I can't believe it..it's true! The suspect does in fact wear
contacts. Good Work! How were you able to make such an astute
observation?"

"That's easy," the guy replied. "He can't wear regular glasses
becausehe
only has one eye and one ear."
