DETECfIVf

A

Inspector was interviewing two people for
the

wa~
a
woman. The
in

her
a

man
with green

about
the man. She

replied '

This was not what the inspector had
been
hoping
to hear. 'We
can

only see
one
ear
because
the
picture
is

The !.econd candidate was a man.
The
Inspector asked him
the
same
questIon.
The
man
said
'He's wCllring contact lenses.' The Inspector was very surprised. 'You're right,'
he
said.

the

. 'He must have poor eyesight

only

eye. And
he
can't wear glasses

cause he's
