Dave, sadly was born without ears, although successful in
business this problem did annoy him greatly. One day he
needed to hire a new manager for his company. He set up
three interviews.
The first guy was great. He knew everything he needed to
know and was very interesting. But at the end of the interview,
Dave asked him, "Do you notice anything different about me?"
"Why, yes, I couldn't help but notice that you have no ears," came
the reply. Dave did not appreciate his candour and threw him
out of the office.
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?" "Well," she said stammering,
"you have no ears." Dave again got upset and chucked her out in a rage.
The third and final interviewee was the best of the bunch, he was
a young man who had recently earned his BSc (Hons). He was smart.
He was handsome, and he seemed to be a better businessman than
the first two put together.
Dave was anxious, but went ahead and asked the young man the same
question: "Do you notice anything different about me?" And much
to his surprise, the young man answered, "Yes, you wear Contact
lenses, don't you?"
Dave was shocked and realised this was an incredibly observant
person. "How in the world did you know that?", he asked. The young
man fell off his chair laughing hysterically and replied, "Well,
it's pretty hard to wear glasses with no ears!"
