   Bet you will think of  this every time you enter a Wal-Mart........ 

    An office manager  at Wal-Mart 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 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?" 

    Acknowledging the first man on his right, the man  replied, "A 
THOUGHT."  It just pops into your head.   There's no warning 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 
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 then 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 in 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 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 Bubba,  the fourth and final man, the interviewer posed the 
 same question. 

    Old Bubba replied, "After hearing  the three previous answers.  It's 
obvious to me that the  fastest thing known is DIARRHEA! ." 

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

     "Oh sure",  said Old 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, I had already  s---  my pants." 

    Old Bubba is now the new greeter at a  Wal-Mart near you
