<joke> I can't hear you!

Steve was in a terrible accident at work. Oddly, however, the only
permanent damage done to him was that both of his ears were amputated.
But, because he was permanently disfigured, he settled with the company
for a rather large sum of money and went on his way. One day, Steve
decided to invest his money in a small, but growing computer business.
And, after weeks of negotiation, he bought the company outright. Shortly
after signing on the dotted line, he realized that he knew nothing about
running such a business and quickly set out to hire someone who could do
that for him.The next day he set up three interviews.

The first guy was great! He knew everything he needed to and was very
interesting. But, at the end of the interview, Steve asked him, 'Do you
notice anything different about me?', and the gentleman answered, 'Why
yes. I couldn't help but notice you have no ears.' Steve got very angry
and threw him out.

The second interview was with a woman, and she was even better than the
first guy. But he asked her the same question, 'Do you notice anything
different about me?', and she replied, 'Well, you have no ears.' Steve
again was upset and tossed her out.

The third and last interview was the best of all three. It was with a
very young man who was fresh out of college. He was smart. He was
handsome. And he seemed to be a better businessman than the first two
put together. Steve was anxious, but went ahead and asked the young man
the same question, 'Do you notice anything different about me?' And to
his surprise, the young man answered, 'Yes, you wear contact lenses.'
Steve was shocked, and said, 'That's incredibly observant, young man.
How in the world did you know that?' The young man fell off his chair
laughing hysterically and replied, 'Well, it's pretty hard to wear
glasses with no fucking ears!'
