Job Interview

An office manager was given the task of hiring an individual to fill a

job opening. After sorting through a stack of resumes he found four

people who were equally qualified. He decided to call the four in and

ask them one question and their answer would determine

who would get the job.

The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table the

interviewer asked, "What is the fastest thing you know of?" Pointing to

the man on his right.

The first man replied "A thought. It pops into your head. There's no

forewarning that it's on the way, it's just there. A thought is the

fastest thing I know of."

"That's very good!" replied the interviewer. And now you sir? He asked

the second man.

"Hmm....let me see, a blink! It comes and goes and you don't ever know

it happened. A blink is the fastest thing I know of."

"Excellent!" said the interviewer "The blink of an eye. That's a very

popular cliché for speed." He 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 at the barn comes on in an instant. Turning on a light

is the fastest thing I can think of."

The interviewer was very impressed with the third answer and thought he

had found his man. "It's hard to beat the speed of light." he said.

Turning to the fourth man, he posed the same question.

"After hearing the three previous answers, it's obvious to me that the

fastest thing known is diarrhea."

"WHAT?" said the interviewer, stunned by the response?

"Oh I can explain." said the fourth man.

"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 shit my

pants!"

He got the job.
