A man with a winking problem is applying for a position as a sales
representative for a large firm. The interviewer looks over his
papers and says, "This is phenomenal. You've graduated from the best
schools; your recommendations are wonderful, and your experience is
unparalleled. Normally, we'd hire you without a second thought.
However, a sales representative has a highly visible position, and
we're afraid that your constant winking will scare off potential
customers."
"But wait," he said. "If I take two aspirin, I'll stop winking!"
"Really? Great! Show me."
So the applicant reaches into his jacket pocket and begins pulling out
all sorts of condoms: red condoms, blue condoms, ribbed condoms,
flavored condoms. Eventually, he finds some aspirin. He swallows the
pills, and in a few minutes stops winking.
"Well," said the interviewer, "that's all well and good, but this is a
respectable company, and we don't want employees who are womanizers."
"What do you mean? I'm a happily married man!"
"Then how do you explain all these condoms?"
"Oh," he sighed.
"Have you ever walked into a pharmacy, winking, and asked for
aspirin?"
