Three Blondes and the Detective

Three blondes were applying for the last available position on the Texas Highway Patrol. The detective conducting the interview got up, opened a file drawer and pulled out a file folder. Sitting back down, he opened it up and pulled out a picture, and said, “To be a detective, you have to be able to notice distinguishing features and oddities such as scars on people’s faces.”

So he showed the photo to the first blonde and withdrew it after about 2 seconds. “Now,” he said, “did you notice any distinguishing features about the man?” The blonde immediately said,

“Yes, I did. He has only one eye!”

The detective grabbed the photo, shook his head and said, “Of course he has only one eye in this picture! It’s a profile of his face! You’re dismissed!” The first blonde hung her head and walked out of the office.

The detective did the same thing to the 2nd blond and asked “What about you? Notice anything unusual about this man?”

“Yes! He only has one ear!”

The detective put his head in his hand and exclaimed, “Didn’t you hear what I just told the other lady? This is a profile of the man’s face! Of course you can only see one ear! You’re excused, too!” The second blonde sheepishly walked out of the office.

The detective turned his attention to the third and last blonde and said, “This is probably a waste of time, but… He flashed the photo in her face for a couple of seconds and withdrew it, saying “All right. Did you notice anything distinguishing or unusual about this man?”

The blonde said, “I did. This man wears contact lenses.”

The detective frowned, took another look at the picture and 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 this picture?”

The blonde rolled her eyes and said, “DUH!!! With only one eye and one ear, he certainly can’t wear glasses!
