Work Accident
Merv was in a terrible accident at work. He fell through a
floor tile and ripped off both of his ears. Since he was permanently disfigured,
he settled with the company for a rather large sum of money and went on his way.
One day, Merv decided to invest his money in a small business. After weeks of
negotiations, he bought the company outright. But, after signing on the dotted
line he realized that he knew nothing about running such a business and quickly
set out to hire someone who could do that for him.
The next day he had set up three interviews. The first guy was great. He knew
everything he needed to and was very interesting. At the end of the interview,
Merv asked him, "Do you notice anything different about me?" And the
gentleman answered, "Why yes, I couldn't help but notice you have no
ears."
Merv got very angry and threw him out.
The second interview was with a woman, and she was even better than the first
guy. He asked her the same question, "Do you notice anything different
about me?" and she replied: "Well, you have no ears."
Merv again was upset and tossed her out.
The third and last interview was the best of all three. It was with a very
young man who was fresh out of college. He was smart. He was handsome and he
seemed to be a better businessman than the first two put together. Merv was
anxious, but went ahead and asked the young man the same question: "Do you
notice anything different about me?" And to his surprise, the young man
answered: "Yes. You wear contact lenses." Merv was shocked, and said,
"What an incredibly observant young man. How in the world did you know
that?" The young man fell off his chair laughing hysterically and replied,
"Well, it's pretty damn hard to wear glasses with no fucking ears!"
