A policeman was interrogating 3 persons who
were getting trained to Become detectives.
To test their skills in recognizing a suspect,
he shows the first one a picture for 5
seconds and then hides it. "This is your
suspect, how would you recognize him?" The
first person answers,
"That's easy, we'll catch him fast because
he only has one eye!"
The policeman says, "Well...uh...that's
because the picture I showed is his side
profile."
Slightly flustered by this ridiculous
response, he flashes the picture for 5
seconds at the second one and asks him,
"This is your suspect, how would you
recognize him?"
The second person smiles, flips his hair and
says, "Ha! He'd be too easy to catch because
he only has one ear!"
The policeman 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 side
profile!
Is that the best answer you can come
up with?"
Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows
the picture to!
The third one and in a very testy voice
asks, "This is your suspect, how would you
recognize him? He quickly adds, "Think hard
before giving me a stupid answer."
The person looks at the picture intently for
a moment and says, "The suspect wears contact
lenses." The policeman is surprised
and speechless because he really doesn't
know himself if the suspect wears
contacts or not.
"Well, that's an interesting answer.
Wait here for a few minutes while I check
this file and I'll get
back to you on that."
He leaves the room and goes to 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 contact lenses.
Good work! How were you able to make such an
acute observation?"
"That's easy," the third person replied.
"He can't wear regular glasses because he
only has one eye and one ear."
