Wink,Wink!

The owner of a well-established firm of wholesalers was inter-viewing people for a position in sales. One candidate offered excellent references and experience and was well-dressed well-spoken. The only catch was a disconcerting mannerism fellow couldn't seem to stop winking.

So the sales manager decided to be frank, "You've got all the qualifications for the job and I'd really like to hire you but I'm afraid that facial tic of yours might put customers off."

"I'm glad you brought that up, sir," said the sales candidate "because all I need to make that annoying wink go away is a couple of aspirin. See for yourself, I've got some on me." And he began emptying his pockets on the desk.

The prospective employer was startled to see dozens of packages of condoms piling up: ribbed ones, lubricated ones, multicolored ones, every variety imaginable.

"Aha," cried the young man happily, "here they are." brandished two aspirin, swallowed them , and sure enough, the tic went away in less than a minute.

"So much for the wink," said the sales manager sternly, gesturing at the mountain of rubbers, "but what about all this stuff here? I don't want my company to be represented by some wild womanizer, after all."

"No fear. I'm a happily married man."

"So how can you account for the contents of your pockets?"

"It's simple, sir. Did you ever go into a drug store, winking like crazy, and ask for a packet of aspirins?"
