Here's a story about a Kababayan making his mark in the world.
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 decided 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 cliche 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 sheeet
> in my pants!"
