Subject: Think Fast
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?"
Acknowledging the first man on his
right, the 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 Old 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 pooped my pants."
Old 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!!
