I'll bet you look at Wal-Mart greeters in a 'new
way' after reading this!
A manager at Wal-Mart had the task of hiring someone 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 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, the interviewer 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 the interviewer.
'And, now you sir?', he 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 the interviewer. 'The blink
of an eye, that's a very popular cliche 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 on
the barn comes on in less than an instant. 'Yep, 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 BUBBA, the fourth and final man, the interviewer
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 the interviewer, 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 **** 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!
Have a good day!
