bubba at wal-mart

A manager at Wal-Mart had the task of hiring
someone to fill a job opening. After sorting through
a stack of resumes he found four people who were
equally qualified. 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 of?"

Acknowledging the first man on his right, the
man replied, "A THOUGHT." It just pops into
your head. There's no warning.

"That's very good!" replied the interviewer.
"And, now you sir?" he asked the second man.

"Hmmm...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 of."

"Excellent!" said the interviewer. "The
blink of an eye, that's a very popular
cliché for speed." He then turned to the
; third man, 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
on the barn comes on in less than an
instant. "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 Bubba, the fourth and final man,
the interviewer posed the same question.

Old Bubba replied, "After hearing
the previous three answers, it's obvious to me that
the fastest thing known is DIARRHEA."

"WHAT!?" said the interviewer, stunned by
the response.

"Oh sure", said Old Bubba. "You see, the
other day I wasn't feeling so good, and
I ran for the bathroom, but before I could
THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, I
had a lready chit my pants."

Old Bubba is now the new greeter at a
Wal-Mart near you!
