Jennifer, a manager at Walmart, had the task of hiring
someone to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of
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 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 on the barn
comes on in less than an instant.
Yep, 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 Ernest, the fourth and final man, Jennifer posed
the same question.
Old Ernest 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 Ernest. "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 **** my pants."
Ernest is now the new greeter
