Jennifer, a manager at Wal-Mart, 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 cliché 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 BUBBA, the fourth and final man, Jennifer
posed the same question.
Old Bubba 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 BUBBA. '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 sh*t in my pants.'
BUBBA is now the new greeter at a Wal-Mart near you!
You probably will think of this every time you enter a
Wal-Mart from now on!
