Four men were sitting around aconference room table being interviewed for a job. The interviewer asked, 'What is thefastest thing you know of?' The first man replied, 'A thought.' Itpops into your head, there's no forewarning that it's on the way; it's just there. A thought is thefastest thing I know of.' 'That's very good,' replied theinterviewer. 'And now you, sir,' he asked the secondman. 'Hmmm, let me see..... a blink!,' saidthe second man. 'It comes and goes and you don't know it ever happened. A blink is the fastest thingI know of.' 'Excellent!', said the interviewer. Theblink of an eye. That's a very popular cliche for speed.' The interviewer then turned to the thirdman who was contemplating his reply. 'Well,' said the third candidate, 'outon my dad's ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall there is a light switch. When you flip thatswitch, way across the pasture the light at the barn comes on in an instant. Turning on a light is thefastest thing I can think of.' The interviewer was very impressed withthe third candidate's answer and thought he had found his man. 'It's hard to beat the speed of light.',the interviewer said. Turning to the fourth man, aTrinidadian, he posed the same question. 'After hearing the three previousanswers, it's obvious to me the fastest thing known is diarrhea,' said the Trini. 'What!' said the interviewer, stunned bythe response. 'Oh, I can explain,' said the Trini. Yousee, the other day I wasn't feeling so well and ran for the bathroom. But, before I could think,blink, or turn on the light, I s*** my pants.' The Trini got the job.
