Job Interview

Four men were sitting around a conference room table being interviewed for

a

job. The interviewer asked, "What is the fastest thing you know of?"

The first man replied "A thought. It pops into your head, there's no

forewarning 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

now you, sir," he asked the second man. "Hmmm, let me see..... a

blink!," said the second man. "It comes and goes and you don't know 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 cliché for

speed."

He then turned to the third man who was contemplating his reply.

"Well, out on my dad's property, you step out of the house and on the wall

there is a light switch. When you flip that switch, way across the paddock

the light at the barn comes on in an instant. 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 the fourth man, an Australian, he

posed the same question. "After hearing the three previous answers,

it's

obvious to me the fastest thing known is diarrhoea, said the Aussie.

"What!" said the interviewer, stunned by the response. "Oh, I can

explain", said the Aussie, "You see, the other day I wasn't feeling so

well

and ran for the bathroom. But, before I could think, blink, or turn on

the

light, I sheet my pants." He got the job.
