The fastest Thing

    An office manager was given the task of hiring an individual 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 one
    Question and their answer would determine who would get the job.

    The day came and as the four sat around the conference room Cable the
    interviewer asked "What is the fastest thing you know of?" pointing to the
    man on his right.

    The first man replied, "A thought. It pops into your head. There's no
    forewarning that it's on the way, it's just there. A thought is the fastest
    thing I know of."

    "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 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." As 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 at the barn comes on in an instant. Turning on a light is
    the fastest thing I can think of."

    The interviewer was very impressed with the third answer and thought he had
    found his man. "It's hard to beat the speed of light." he said.

    Turning to the fourth man, he posed the question.

    "After hearing the three previous answers, it's obvious to me that the
    fastest thing known is diarrhoea."

    "WHAT!?" said the interviewer, stunned by the response.

    "Oh I can explain." said the fourth man. "You see, 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'd **** my pants!"

    He got the job.
