The Blind Lumber Inspector
There's a sign in tthe office window of a lumberyard :Wanted, lumber inspector." A blind man with a red and white cane and dark shades walks in and says he wants to apply for the job. The manager calls the blind man into his office and asks him how he expected to do this job since he was blind. The blind man replied he would do it by smell. The manager takes him out into the lumber yard and places a piece of wood in front of him. The blind man smells it and says "That's 3/4 inch knotty pine plywood. It's 6'6" x 8'3 3/4". You've gone over it lightly with a #600 wet-or-dry sandpaper." That's absolutely correct, says the manager. Now try this one." The blind man smells it and says "That's 1 1/4 diameter oak half round floor dowling. It's 11'9 1/2" and you've applied a clear Watco Oil." "That's absolulely correct" says the manager. One more." The blind man smells it and says "That's 4 x 6 teak ceiling beam. It's 12' 9 1/2" and there's a ding in the upper right corner. You should knock off the last 1/2 inch with a planing saw." The manager says "Wait right here." He walks back in the office and says to his secretary "There's a blind guy in the lumberyard who's screwing with my head. I want you to go out there, pull your pants down, and lay down on your back." She replies "What are you talking about. That's not in my job description. He says "Please, as a personal favor to me. I'll give you a big raise. He brings the blind guy over and says "OK, you get this one right and you've got the job." The blind guy smells, thinks, smells again, thinks, and says "You can't fool me, that's the shit house door off a tuna boat!"
