A man worked as a lumberjack for 50 years.
He suddenly lost his eye sight in a terrible car accident.
Determined to continue doing a job he loved, he tried to return to work as a lumberjack. He hands his boss papers stating that he is legally blind. His boss says, "Look man, you're a great guy and a good worker, but I can't let you work here any more becaue you're blind. You'll get hurt." The man says, "I don't need to see the trees to cut them down because I can smell the difference in the type of wood.
" His boss doesn't believe what he's hearing, but decides to give the man a test to see if he's telling the truth. He grabs the man by the elbow and leads him around the ofice, stopping at a wooden cabinet. He says, "here, smell this and tell me what it is." The man sniffs, smiles and says, "It's oak.
Probably a cabinet." His boss was impressed, but wanted more proof.
He leads the man a little further in the office and stops by the secretary's desk. He says, "here, smell this and tell me what it is.
" Again, the man sniffs, smiles and says, "It's pine. Probably a desk." The boss is really impressed now, but decides to try one more thing before giving the man his job back. He quietly motions for his secretary to come over.
He whispers in her ear so the man can't hear. The young secretary is horrified by the task she is asked to complete, but is afraid of losing her job so she does as the boss asked.
She walks in front of the blind man, lifts up her dress, pulls down her panties, turns around and bends over. The boss says, "here, smell this and tell me what it is." The man sniffs, looks confused, sniffs again, still unsure. He sniffs one more time, frowns and says, "Well sir, I guess I was wrong. I can't tell you what kind of wood it is." The boss smiles because he really didn't want a blind man working for him, but he smile soon fades as the blind man speaks again.
He says, "All I can tell you is that it's a door." The boss asks, "A door?" The man says "Yes, a door. I can't tell you what kind of wood it is, but it's a shithouse door on a tuna boat!" |
