A policeman was testing 3 Singh brothers who were training to become
detectives.
To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the
first Singh a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it. "This is your
suspect, how would you recognize him?"
The first Singh answers, "That`s easy, we`ll catch him fast because he only
has one eye!" The policeman says, "Well...uh.. .that`s because the picture I
showed is his side profile."
Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for
5 seconds at the second Singh and asks him, "This is your suspect, how
would you recognize him?"
The second Singh smiles and says, "Ha! He`d be too easy
to catch because he only has one ear!" The policeman angrily responds,
"What`s the matter with you two? Of course only one eye and one ear are
showing because it`s a picture of his side profile! Is that the best answer
you can come up with?"
Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third Singh
and in a very testy voice asks, "This is your suspect, how would you
recognize him?
He quickly adds, "Think hard before giving me a stupid answer." The Singh
looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, "The suspect wears
contact lenses." The policeman is surprised and speechless because he
really doesn`t know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not. "Well,
that`s an
interesting answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and
I`ll get back to you on that." He leaves the room and goes to his
office,checks the suspect`s file in his computer, and comes back with a
beaming smile on his face.
"Wow! I can`t believe it. It`s TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact
lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute observation? "
"That`s easy," the Singh replied. "He can`t wear regular glasses because he
only has one eye and one ear."
