Let’s just not make a spectacle…..

Many police departments refuse to hire applicants with high IQs

I think this is a re-run from not too long ago

This joke is as old as contact lenses.

That joke originated three days after the invention of contact lenses.

De Soto? (60?) My father had one…I think from the day he bought it it was parked out back

Just don’t flash him your police club card.

Now, you take this here book a tickets and this here pencil, and you write what I tell ya…

For that very reason, after I had my catarac surgery, one of the first things I did was have my drivers license changed to show I didn’t need glasses anymore!

The fins on your car just make it look like it’s going faster. Or maybe it’s just the trail of blue smoke…

Paulie P???

True story. A colleague of my wife’s was flying from Detroit to Albuquerque. The TSA agent insisted that she had to have a passport to go to a foreign country. To the agent, Albuquerque was not in the United States; New Mexico was a foreign country. It became necessary to involve a supervisor.

I was in the Optical Business specializing in contact lenses and that was one of the oldest jokes amongst my associates…..but still a goodie!

That joke is so old the first time I heard it the Statue of Liberty was a little girl.

puh-dump-dump

This joke was old when I was a youngster. And I was a youngster when you had to read the comics in a printed newspaper. And the comics were in color only on Sundays. And it wasn’t that funny back then either.

And.. quite possibly, numerous pollution related violations as well.

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

I am a little concerned about this because I had my second cataract surgery and the doctor says my vision is good enough to pass the drivers eye test without glasses, but didn’t give me a note for the police officer.

If Cosmo had said I wear contacts, there would have been no misunderstanding and of course no joke.

I remember getting stopped and the cop used a flashlight to shine across my eyes to see the edge of my contacts. I still wear them but my license no longer has the requirement for corrective lenses on it for some reason.

It’s not so much that we don’t hire applicants with High IQ’s …it’s more they don’t apply in the first place….I am with Metro- Atlanta Police Department Precinct 3

ba dum tss

The officer better hope that the judge will not be in a bad mood!
