Got this from Mana Lyn Priestley- so funny..ENJOY!

A Filipino Applies for a Job at Wal-Mart. 

An  office manager at Wal-Mart was given the task of hiring an individual  to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of resumes he  found four people who were equally qualified –an American, a  Russian, an Australian and a Filipino.

He decideed to call the  four in and ask them only one question.  Their answer would determine  who of them would get the job.

The day came and as the four  sat around the conference room table the interviewer asked, ‘What is  the fastest thing you know?’  Dave, the American, replied, ‘A THOUGHT .  It just pops into your head. There’s no warning that it’s on the way;  it’s just there.  A thought is the fastest thing I know  of.’

‘That’s very good!’ replied the  interviewer.

‘And now you sir?’ he asked Vladimir , the  Russian.

‘Hmm…. let me see. A blink! It comes and goes and  you don’t know that it ever happened. A BLINK is the fastest thing I  know.’

‘Excellent!’ said the interviewer. ‘The blink of an  eye, that’s a very popular clich? for speed.’

He then  turned to George, the Australian who was contemplating his reply.  ‘Well, out at my dad’s ranch, you step out of the house and on the  wall there’s a light switch. When you flip that switch, way out across  the pasture the light in the barn comes on. Yep, TURNING ON A LIGHT is  the fastest thing I can think of.’ 

The interviewer was very  impressed with the third answer and thought he had found his man.  ‘It’s hard to beat the speed of light‘ he said.

Turning to  Eleuterio, the Filipino, the fourth and final man, the interviewer posed the same question. Eleuterio  replied, ‘Apter herring da 3 preybyus ansers sir, et’s ob yus to me  dat the fastest thing is Diarrhea.’

‘WHAT!?’ said the  interviewer, stunned by the response. The others were already giggling  in their seats…

‘Oh, I can expleyn sir,.’  said  Eleuterio. ‘ You see, sir, da ader day my tummy was  peeling bad and so I  run so fast to the CR, but before I  could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, ‘tang ina, sir,
I had  alreydi shit in my pants!’

Eleuterio is now the new ‘Greeter’  at Wal-Mart.
