An office manager was given the task of hiring an individual to fill a job vacancy. After sorting through a stack of resumes he found four men who were equally qualified. He decided to call them all in and ask them only one question. Their answers would determine which one of them would get the job.
So, with the four sitting around a conference table the interviewer asked the first applicant, “What is the fastest thing you know of?”
The man replied: “A thought. It just pops into your head. There’s no warning 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 then asked the second man the same question.
“Hmm, 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 the interviewer. “The blink of an eye – that’s a popular cliché for speed.”
He then turned to the third man and asked for 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 paddock the light in the barn comes on instantly. Yep, turning on a light is the fastest thing I can think of.”
The interviewer was impressed with the third answer and thought he’d found his man.
So he turned to the fourth man for his answer.
The last man replied: “After hearing the three previous answers, it’s obvious to me that the fastest thing known is diarrhoea.”
“What?” exclaimed the interviewer, stunned by the response.
“Oh, I can explain,” said the fourth man. “You see, the other day I wasn’t feeling well and I ran for the bathroom. But before I could think, blink, or turn on the light, I’d already shit my pants!”
