JOTD: A company had a position open that required a great deal of sensitivity dealing with people. They devised a strategy to weed out inappropriate candidates during the interview. They had a person working for the company who was born without ears, so they had him perform the interviews.

The first interviewee fails immediately when he walks in and says, "Dude, what happened to your ears?"

The second never made mention of the interviewer's lack of ears, but was very obviously looking at where his ears should have been.

The third walked in, sat calmly, and never seemed to notice the interviewer's lack of ears. At the end of the interview even the interviewer was impressed because he had never spoken to anyone for that length of time with some kind of reaction. The interviewer was so curious he couldn't resist asking, "So, did you notice anything strange or different about me?"

"Like what?"

"Anything, anything at all."

After making an obvious show of carefully looking the interviewer over, the interviewee says, "The only thing I can think of is that you wear contacts."

"Hey, that's right, I do wear contacts! How'd you know?"

"Well you can't wear glasses; you don't have any fricking ears."
