Three blonde's were all applying for the last available
position on the Texas Highway Patrol. The detective
looked at the three of them and said, "So y'all want to be
cops, huh?"

The blondes all nodded.

The detective got up, opened a file drawer, and pulled
out a folder. Sitting back down, he opened it, pulled
out a picture, and said, "To be a detective, you have to be
able to detect. You must be able to notice things such
as distinguishing features and oddities like scars and so
forth."

So saying, he stuck the photo in the face of the first
blonde and withdrew it after about two seconds, "Now," he
said, "did you notice any distinguishing features about this
man?"

The blonde immediately said, "Yes, I did. He has
only one eye!"

The detective 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 then turned to the second blonde, stuck
the photo in her face for two seconds, pulled it back, and
said, "What about you? Notice anything unusu al or
outstanding about this man?"

"Yes! He only has one ear!"

The detective put his head in his hands 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 unusu al about this man?"


The blonde said, "I sure 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 his photo?"

The blonde rolled her eyes and said, "Well,
Hellooooooooooooo! With only one eye and one ear, he certainly
can't wear glasses."
