No Ears

Silva was involved in a terrible accident at work. Oddly, however, the only permanent damage done to him was that both of his ears were amputated. But, because he was permanently disfigured, he settled with the company for a rather large sum of money and went on his way. One day, Silva decided to invest his money in a small, but growing computer business, And, after weeks of negotiations, he bought the company outright. But, after signing on the dotted line, he realizes 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 named Horo-Horo was great. He knew everything he needed to and was very interesting.

But at the end of the interview, Silva asked him, “Do you notice anything different about me?”

And the Horo-Horo answered, “Why yes. I couldn’t help but notice that you have no ears.” Silva got very angry and threw him out. The second interview was with a younger gentleman named Manta. He was even better than the first guy. But he asked him the same question, “Do you notice anything different about me?”

And he replied blankly: “Well, you have no ears.”

Silva again was upset and tossed him out. The third and the last interview was the best of all the three. He was a very young man named Hao Asakura 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. Silva was anxious, but went ahead and asked the young man the same question: “Do you notice anything different about me?”

And to his surprise, Hao answered: “Yes, you wear contact lenses.”

Silva was shocked, and said. “What an incredibly observant young man. How in the world did you know that?”

Hao fell of his chair laughing hysterically and replied,

“Well, It’s pretty hard to wear glasses with no ears!
