Merv was in a terrible accident at work. He fell through a floor tile
and ripped off both of 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, Merv decided to invest his money in a small, but growing
telecom business called Plexus Communications.

After 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 three interviews.

The first guy was great. He knew everything he needed to and was
very interesting.

At the end of the interview, Merv asked him, "Do you notice anything
different about me?"

The gentleman answered, "Why yes, I couldn't help but notice you
have no ears."

Merv got very angry and threw him out.

The second interview was with a woman, and she was even better
than the first guy.

He asked her the same question, "Do you notice anything different
about me?"

She replied: "Well, you have no ears."

Merv 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.

Merv 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."

Merv was shocked, and said, "What an 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 f**king ears!"
