Three blondes (金发碧眼的女人) were being trained to become detectives by a policeman. To
test their skills in recognizing a suspect ( 嫌疑犯 ), the policeman showed the first blonde a picture
for five seconds and then asked how she could recognize him. She thought it easy, for the suspect
had only one eye. The policeman felt disappointed at this funny answer. He showed the second lady
the picture for five seconds and asked her how she would recognize him. The second blonde giggled,
flipped her hair, and said, "Ha! It's easy to find the one-eared person!" Her answer also made the
policeman angry. Turning to the third lady, he asked, "This is your suspect, and how would you recognize
him?" He added quickly, "Think hard before giving a stupid answer." The third blonde looked at the picture carefully for a moment and said, "HMMMM ... the suspect is wearing contact lenses (隐形眼镜)." The
policeman was surprised and speechless, because he really didn't know himself if the suspect wore contacts or not. "Well, that is a good answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file." He left the room and went to his office, checked the suspect's file in his computer and returned with a beaming smile.
"Wow! I can't believe it ... it's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How
were you able to make such a wise observation?" "That's easy," the blonde replied, "he can't wear glasses because he only has one eye and one ear!"
