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."
