DETECTIVE SARDAR

A policeman was testing 3 Singh brothers who were training to become

detectives.

To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the

first Singh a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it. "This is your

suspect, how would you recognize him?"

 The first Singh answers, "That's

easy, we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!" The policeman

says, "Well...uh.. .that's because the picture I showed is his side

profile."

Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for

5 seconds at the second Singh and asks him, "This is your suspect, how

would

you recognize him?"

 The second Singh smiles and says, "Ha! He'd be too easy

to catch because he only has one ear!" The policeman angrily responds,

 "What's the matter with you two? Of course only one eye and one ear are

showing because it's a picture of his side profile! Is that the best answer

you can come up with?"

 Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third Singh

and in a very testy voice asks, "This is your suspect, how would you

recognize him?

 He quickly adds, "Think hard before giving me a stupid answer." The Singh

looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, "The suspect wears

contact lenses." The policeman is surprised and speechless because he

really

 doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not. "Well, that's an

interesting answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and

I'll get back to you on that." He leaves the room and goes to his office,

 checks the suspect's file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming

smile on his face.

"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 an astute observation? "

"That's easy," the Singh replied. "He can't wear regular glasses because he

only has one eye and one ear."
