Wal-Mart was looking to fill a new position that somebody had dreamed up, and accepted hundreds of resumes. It was left to one manager to determine who got the job. He went through all the resumes and got down to four people who he liked the most.
In order to pick the winner, he decided to call them all in for a final interview. He told them each in advance that they would be asked the same question, and whoever gave the best answer would get the job.
The four showed up the next day for their interview, and were all seated in front of the manager's desk. The manager said, "Ok... here's the question... Tell me what the fastest thing in the world is."
The first guy thought for a minute, and said, "Thoughts!... you have hundreds and thousands of thoughts per day, and they just pop in and out of your mind so fast you don't even realize it." The manager said to himself, "This guy is pretty good. I like that answer."
The second guy thought for a minute and said, "Blinking your eye!... you blink your eye hundreds, even thousands of times per day, and don't even realize it!" The manager said to himself, "I like that answer better than the first one! Maybe this is the guy!"
The third guy thought for a minute and said, "You know... the other day I walked into a room and flipped a switch, and way on the other side of the room, a light popped on. Nothing is faster than the speed of light!". The manager thought, "Wow... I think this might be the guy!"
Finally, it was all down to Bubba. Bubba didn't want to be outdone by the other guys, so he thought long and hard, then said, "Diarrhea!". The manager was caught off-guard by this, and asked him, "What makes you think diarrhea is so fast?".
Bubba responded, "Well, the other day I got up in the mornin', and felt like I had come down with this bad case of diarrhea, so ran down the hall to the john. But before I could think, blink, or turn on the light, I had crapped my pants!"
