Four men were being interviewed for a job.The interviewer asked,"What is the fastest thing you know of ?"
The Irishman 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."
"Thats very good," replied the interviewer. "And now you sir," he asked the Englishman.
"Hmmm,let me see........a blink!,"said the Englishman. "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 popular cliche for speed." He then turned to the Yank who was contemplating his reply.
"Well, out on my Pa`s ranch,you step out of the house and on the wall there is a light switch. When you flip that switch,way across the paddock 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 Welshman, he posed the same question.
"After hearing the three previous answers,it`s obvious to me the fastest thing known is diarrhoea,"said Taff.
"What!"said the interviewer,stunned by the response?
"Oh,I can explain,"said Taff,"You see,the other day I was`nt feeling so well and ran for the bathroom.But before I could think,blink,or turn on the light,I shit my pants."
He got the job.
