beargonewild -> THE FASTEST THING (2/1/2009 11:48:27 AM)
|
An office manager was given the task of hiring an individual to fill a job
opening. After sorting through a stack of resumes,
he found four people who were equally qualified. He decided to call the
four in and ask them one question and their answer
would determine who would get the job. The day came and as the four sat
around the conference room table,the interviewer
asked, "What is the fastest thing you know of?"
Pointing to the man on his right.The first man replied "A thought". It
pops into your head. There's no forewarning that it's
on the way, it's just there. A thought is the fastest thing I know of."
"That's very good!" replied the interviewer.And now you sir, he asked the
second man.
"Hmm....let me see, A blink!It comes and goes and you don't know it ever
happened. A blink is the fastest thing I know of."
"Excellent!" said the interviewer "The blink of an eye. That's a very
popular cliché for speed."He
then turned to the third man who was contemplating his reply.
"Well,out at my dad's ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall
there's a light switch, when you flip that switch,
way out across the pasture the light at the barn comes on in an instant."
Turning on a light is the fastest thing I
can think of."
The interviewer was very impressed with the third answer and thought he
had found his man. "It's hard to beat the speed
of light." he said.Turning to the fourth man, he posed the question.
"After hearing the three previous answers, it's obvious to me that the
fastest thing known is diarrhea" said the man.
"WHAT!?" said the interviewer, stunned by the response.
"Oh I can explain." he said. "You see the other day I wasn't feeling so
well and ran for the bathroom. But, before I could
think, blink or turn on the light, I shit my pants!"
