Man With No Ears

A man was in a horrible accident and was injured. But fortunately, the only permanent damage he suffered was the amputation of both of his ears. As a result, handicap, he was very self-conscious about his lack of ears, and did not like to be reminded of it.

Because of the accident, he received a large sum of money from the insurance company. It has always been his dream to own his own business, so he decided
with this insurance settlement, he now had the means to own a business. He researched the market and decided on the purchase of a small, but expanding computer firm. But he realized that he had no business knowledge at all, and so he decided that he would have to hire someone to manage the business.

After a selection process, he picked out three top candidates, and called them each back for a second interview. He decided that a critical factor in selecting of of the three would be their ability to deal compassionately with his handicap - his lack of ears.

The first interview went really well. He really liked this guy. His final question for this candidate was, “Do you notice anything unusual about me?” He replied, “Now that you mention it, you have no ears.”

The man got really upset and threw the guy out.

The second interview went even better than the first. This candidate was even better than the first. Again, to conclude the interview, the man asked the same question again, “Do you notice anything unusual about me?”

This guy also noticed, “Yes, you have no ears.”

The man was really upset again, and threw this second candidate out.

Then he had the third interview. This final candidate was even better than the second, the best out of all of them. Almost certain that he wanted to hire this one, the man once again asked, “Do you notice anything unusual about me?”

The reply was “Yeah, you're wearing contact lenses.”

Surprised, the man then asked, “'Wow! That's quite perceptive of you! How could you tell?”

The guy burst out laughing and said, “Well, You can't wear glasses if you don't have any ears!”
