Three Blondes
Three blondes were applying for the last available position in the Wyoming Sheriff’s Department.
The detective conducting the interview looked at the three of them and said, “So ya’ll want to
be a cop, eh?” The blondes all nodded. The detective got up, opened a file drawer and pulled out a
file folder. Sitting back down, he opened it up and pulled out a picture and said, “To be a
detective, you have to be able to detect. You must be able to notice such things as distinguishing
features and oddities, like scars and tattoos.” 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 the 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 same photo in her face for
two seconds, pulled it back and said, “What about you? Did you notice anything unusual or
outstanding about this man?” “Yes! He only has one ear!” The detective put his head in his
hand and exclaimed, “Didn’t you hear what I just told the other bimbo? 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
unusual about this man?” The blonde replied, “I sure did! This man wears contact lenses.” The
detective frowned, examined the picture and began reviewing 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 this picture?” The
blonde rolled her eyes and said, “Well, duhhhhhhh!” With only one eye and one ear he certainly
can’t wear glasses!
