Merv was in a terrible accident at work. He fell through a floor tile and
ripped off both of his ears. Since he was permanently disfigured, he settled
with the company for a rather large sum of money and went on his way. One
day, Merv decided to invest his money in a small, but growing telecom
business called Plexus Communications. After weeks of negotiations, he
bought the company outright. But, after signing on the dotted line, he
realized that he knew nothing about running such a business and quickly set
out to hire someone who could do that for him.
The next day he had set up three interviews. The first guy was great. He
knew everything he needed to and was very interesting. At the end of the
interview, Merv asked him, "Do you notice anything different about me?" And
the gentleman answered, "Why yes, I couldn't help but notice you have no
ears." Merv got very angry and threw him out.
The second interview was with a woman, and she was even better than the
first guy. He asked her the same question, "Do you notice anything different
about me?" and she replied: "Well, you have no ears." Merv again was upset
and tossed her out.
The third and last interview was the best of all three. It was with a very
young man who was fresh out of college. He was smart. He was handsome. And
he seemed to be a better businessman than the first two put together. Merv
was anxious, but went ahead and asked the young man the same question: "Do
you notice anything different about me?" And to his surprise, the young man
answered: "Yes. You wear contact lenses."
Merv was shocked, and said, "What an incredibly observant young man. How in
the world did you know that?"
The young man fell off his chair laughing hysterically and replied, "Well,
it's pretty hard to wear glasses with no ears!"
