Idiots at Detective School

A policeman was interrogating 3 idiots who were training to become detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, she showed the first idiot a picture for 5 seconds and then hid it.

"This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" the policeman asked.

"That's easy," the first idiot answered. "We'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!"

The policeman replied, "Well... uh... that's because the picture shows his profile."

Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, she flashed the picture for 5 seconds at the second idiot and asked him the same question: "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"

The second idiot chuckled and then replied, "Ha! He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!"

The policeman angrily responded, "What's the matter with you two?? Of course only one eye and one ear are SHOWING because it's a picture of his profile!! Is that the best answer you can come up with?"

Extremely frustrated at this point, she showed the picture to the third idiot and in a very testy voice asked, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" She then quickly added, "Think hard before giving me a stupid answer."

The idiot looked at the picture intently for a moment and said, "Hmmmm... the suspect wears contact lenses, ma'am."

The policeman was surprised and speechless because she really didn't know herself if the suspect wore contacts or not. "Well, that's an interesting answer... wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I'll get back to you on that."

She left the room and went back to his office to check the suspect's file in her computer. A few minutes later, she returned with a beaming smile on her face. "Wow! I can't believe it... it's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute observation?"

"That's easy," the idiot replied. "He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear.
