Jennifer a manager at Wal-Mart had the task of hiring someone to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of 20 resumes she found four people who were equally qualified. Jennifer decided to call the four in and ask them only one question. Their answer would determine which of them would get the job.
The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table, Jennifer asked, 'What is the fastest thing you know of?'
The first man replied, 'A THOUGHT.' It just pops into your head. There's no warning.
'That's very good!' replied Jennifer.
'And, now you sir?', she asked the second man.
'Hmmm..let me see 'A blink! It comes and goes and you don't know that it ever happened.... A BLINK is the fastest thing I know of.'
'Excellent!' said Jennifer. 'The blink of an eye, that's a very popular cliche for speed..' She then turned to the thirdman, 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 on the barn comes on in less than an instant. 'Yip, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of.'
Jennifer was very impressed with the third answer and thought she had found her man
'It's hard to beat the speed of light,' she said.
Turning to Louie, the fourth and final man, Jennifer posed the same question.
Old Louie replied, 'After hearing the previous three answers, it's obvious to me that the fastest thing known is DIARRHEA.'
'WHAT!?' said Jennifer, stunned by the response...
'Oh sure', said Louie. 'You see, the other day I wasn't feeling so good, and I ran for the bathroom, but before I could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, I had already shit my pants.'
Louie is now the new greeter at a Wal-Mart near you!
You'll probably think of this every time you enter a Wal-Mart from now on.
Thanks David !
Thank goodness I don't enter Wal-Marts!
ReplyDeleteBetween that and the pee bag wearer, it's worse than a toilet.
It's not really that bad, but I do love bringing the worst into view.
ReplyDeleteWell it is best to be honest at an interview but I still stay clear of Wal-Mart.
ReplyDeleteChristopher, how can you say that after hearing they only hire the best.
ReplyDeleteHanging out at Wal-Mart is good for one's immune system.
ReplyDeletegood grief! oiy!
ReplyDeleteThe last guy works at the WalMart near me.
ReplyDeleteSounds like one of my job interviews.
ReplyDeleteInno, only if you're fast!
ReplyDeleteWHT, There's no good here.
ReplyDeleteLL, I'm sure that's where Jennifer sent him.
ReplyDeleteAdmiral, did you have to explain fast, and more importantly did you win?
ReplyDeleteNo on both.
ReplyDeleteAdmiral?
