An Office Manager at ASDA was given the task of hiring
an individual to fill a job opening.
After sorting through a stack of CVs he found four
people who were equally qualified -- an American, a Russian, an Australian and
an Indian.
He decided to call the four in and ask them only one
question. Their answer would determine which of them would get the job.
The day came and as the four sat around the conference room
table the interviewer asked,
"What is the fastest thing you know?"
Shaun, the American, replied, "A THOUGHT - It just pops
into your head. There's no warning 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 Vladimir, the Russian.
"Hmm.... let me see. A BLINK - It comes and goes and you
don't know that it ever happened. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know."
"Excellent!" said the interviewer. "The blink
of an eye, that's a very popular cliché for speed."
He then turned to George, the Australian who was
contemplating his reply.
"Well, out at my dad's ranch, you step out of the house
and on the wall there's a light switch. When you flip that switch, way out
across the pasture the light in the barn comes on. Yep, 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 Patel, the Indian, the fourth and final
man, the interviewer posed the same question. Patel replied, (in his Gujrati
accent!) "Apter herring da tree prebius ansers sir, et's obius to me dat the
fastest thing is DIARRHEA."
"WHAT!?" said the interviewer, stunned by the
response. The others were already giggling in their seats...
"Oh, I can expleyn sir," said Patel. "You see, sir, da ader day my tummy was pheeling bad
and so I run so fast to the baatrum, but before I could THINK, BLINK, or TURN
ON THE LIGHT, I alredi done it !"
Patel is now the new "Office Manager" at ASDA
in Washington.
