Laugh Lines: what’s the fastest thing you know of?

Bubba’s new job

A manager at a local supercenter had the task of hiring someone to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of resumes, 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.
