>> Dave did not appreciate his candor and threw him out of the office.

>> The second interview was with a woman, and she was even better than the

>> "Well," she said stammering, "you have no ears." Dave again got upset and

>> The third and final interviewee was the best of the bunch, he was a young

>> Much to his surprise, the young man answered, "Yes, you wear contact

>> don't you?"
>>
>> Dave was shocked and realized this was an incredibly observant person.

>>
>> The young man fell off his chair laughing hysterically and replied,
>"Well,
