The detective conducting the interview for DPD looked at the three applicants.

"To be a detective, you have to be able to detect.

You must be able to notice things such as distinguishing features and oddities like scars and so forth."

Showing an 8x10" photo of a suspect to the first guy and taking it away, he asked, "Did you notice any distinguishing features about this man?"

The applicant replied, "Yes. He has only one eye!"

The detective shook his head and said, "Of course he has only one eye in this picture! It's a profile of his face! Sorry, but you're dismissed!"

To the next applicant, "Notice anything unusual or outstanding about this man?"

"Yes! He only has one ear!"

The detective exclaimed, "Didn't you hear that I just told the first guy it's a profile! You're excused too!"

The detective showed the photo to Robert Gift.

"Did you notice anything distinguishing or unusual?"

Robert proudly exclaimed, "I sure did. This man wears contact lenses!"

The detective frowned, took another look at the picture and began looking at some of the additional papers in the folder.

"You're absolutely right! His bio says he wears contacts!

How in the world could you tell that by looking at his picture?"

"Well," said Robert, "with only one eye and one ear, he certainly can't wear glasses."
