Two Irishmen were applying for a job and during the interview of the first, the boss decided to apply an intelligence check.
"If I was to poke out one of your eyes, what would you be?" asked the interviewer.
"Half blind, sah." replied the Irishman.
"Very good. And what would you be if I poked out both of your eyes?"
"Totally blind, sah!"
"Very good. We'll let you know how you went. Send in the second candidate, please."
The Irishman went outside and said to his friend, "He'll ask you a couple of trick questions at the end. All you have to do is say half blind and totally blind."
Smiling, the second Irishman goes inside and goes through the interview. At the end the of the interview the potential employer asks, "What would you he if I cut off one of your ears?"
Without hesitation the Irishman says, "Half blind, sah!"
"Okay," says the interviewer. "If I was to cut off both your ears, what would you be?"
"Totally blind, sah!"
The interviewer makes a couple of notes and then says, "Those are interesting conclusions. How did you come up with them?"
"Well, " replies the Irishman, "If you were to cut off both my ears my cap would slip down over my eyes!"
