The Problem With Winking

Bedlam Humour

A man with a winking problem applies for a position as a sales representative for a large firm. The interviewer looks over his papers and says, "This is phenomenal. You've graduated from the best schools; your recommendations are wonderful, and your experience is unparalleled. Normally, we'd hire you without a second thought. However, a sales representative has a highly visible position, and ...we're afraid that your constant winking will scare off potential customers. I'm sorry....we can't hire you."
 
"But wait," he said. "If I take two aspirin, I stop winking!"
 
"Really? Great! Show me!"
 
The applicant reaches into his jacket pocket and begins pulling out all sorts of condoms: red condoms, blue condoms, ribbed condoms, flavored condoms; finally, at the bottom, he finds a packet of aspirin. He tears it open, swallows the pills, and stops winking.
 
"Well," said the interviewer, "that's all well and good, but this is a respectable company, and we will not have our employees womanizing all over, the country!"
 
"Womanizing? What do you mean? I'm a happily married man!"
 
"Well then, how do you explain all these condoms?"
 
"Oh, that," he sighed. "Have you ever walked into a pharmacy, winking, and asked for aspirin?
