Wal-Mart Interview. A Wal-Mart manager had to hire someone to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of résumés 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?" The first 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. "Hmm ... 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 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 impressed with this answer and thought he'd found his man. "It's hard to beat the speed of light," he said. Turning to Bubba, the last man, he posed the same question. Bubba replied, "After hearing the other answers, it's obvious that the fastest thing known is diarrhea." The interviewer was stunned. "Oh sure," said 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 ...." Bubba is now the new greeter at Wal-Mart. |
