A man with a winking problem is applying
for a position as a sales representative for a large firm. The interviewer looks over his
papers and says, "This is phenomenal. You've graduated from the best schools; your
recommendations are wonderful, and your experience is unparalleled. Normally, we'd hire
you without a second thought. However, a sales representative has a highly visible
position, and we're afraid that your constant winking will scare off potential customers.
I'm sorry....we can't hire you."
"But wait," he said. "If I
take two aspirin, I'll stop winking!"
"Really? Great! Show me!"
So the applicant reaches into his jacket
pocket and begins pulling out all sorts of condoms: red condoms, blue condoms, ribbed
condoms, flavored condoms; finally, at the bottom, he finds a packet of aspirin. He tears
it open, swallows the pills, and stops winking.
"Well," said the interviewer,
"that's all well and good, but this is a respectable company, and we will not have
our employees womanizing all over the country!"
"Womanizing? What do you mean? I'm a
happily married man!"
"Well then, how do you explain all
these condoms?"
"Oh, that," he sighed. "Have
you ever walked into a pharmacy, winking, and asked for aspirin?"
