Steve was in a terrible accident at work. He fell through a floor tile
and ripped off both his ears. Since he was permanently disfigured,
he settled with the company for a rather large sum of money and went on his way.

One day he decided to invest his money in a small but growing telecom business.
After eight weeks of negotiations he bought the company outright.
But, 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 had set up 3 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?"
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?" She replied, "Well you have no ears." Steve again was
upset and tossed her out.

The third and last interview was the best of the three. It was a very young
man 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, "What an incredibly observant young man. How
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!"
