A policeman was interrogating 3 guys who were training to become detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first guys a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it. "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"

The first guy answers, "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!"
The policeman says, "Well...uh...that's because the picture I showed is his side profile."
Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second guy and asks him, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"
The second guy smiles, flips his hair and says, "Ha! He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!"
The policeman angrily responds, "What's the matter with you two?!!? Of course only one eye and one ear are showing because it's a picture of his side profile! Is that the best answer you can come up with?"
Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third guy and in a very testy voice asks, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?
He quickly adds, "Think hard before giving me a stupid answer."
The third guy looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, "The suspect wears contact lenses."
The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not.
"Well, that's an interesting answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I'll get back to you on that."
He leaves the room and goes to his office, checks the suspect's file on his computer and comes back with a beaming smile on his face.
"Wow! I can't believe it. It's TRUE! The suspect does, in fact, wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute observation?"
"That's easy..." the third guy replied. "He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear."

*a contact lens

But you don’t get just one lens for life. They get used up and you have to replace them.
Therefore he wears lenses, even if only in one eye.

HE HAS TWO EYES, IT IS A SIDE PROFILE. ffs
Acrobatic_Matter_109@reddit
Two eyes on one side! OMG, he's a freak.

A police commissioner is interviewing a candidate for detective. He says, "Well, you've aced the written test, the physical test, and the marksmanship test. All that's left are a few oral questions, and then you're in. What is the code for an armed robbery?"
"That's a 302."
"Correct. Which amendment prohibits unreasonable search and seizure?"
"The fourth."
"Also correct. Finally, who killed Abraham Lincoln?"
The candidate scratches his head. "I... I don't know, sir."
The commissioner sighs. "Well, you did so well on all the other tests, I would hate to fail you for this one little thing. I'll tell you what, why don't you go home and think about it? You can give me your answer tomorrow." The candidate thanks him and promises to try his best.
The candidate goes home and walks in the front door. His wife greets him and asks, "So, honey, how did the interview go?"
"Great! My first day, and they've already got me working a murder case!"

Badman has the same problem.

I haven’t laughed out loud in a long time. Thank you!

It was pretty funny.

I was expecting the third guy to say "that's easy he only has one nose!"
ZaquMan@reddit
But most people only have one nose, so that doesn't rule out much.

I thought the punchline was going to be based on taking the instruction literally to "Think hard before giving a stupid answer." That is, he still gives a stupid answer, but he thought hard before giving it.
Omnizoom@reddit
Cadet why are you erect
“I’m thinking hard sir”
mucho_nacho@reddit
but why does the third guy assume he needs corrective lenses at all? i think it’s a stretch
john_4man@reddit
I think it's a joke.
Cattleist@reddit
I heard a different version of this joke as a kid.. It was the same punchline but the guy asking questions had lost his ears in an accident and asking what people noticed about him.
AE_WILLIAMS@reddit
"He's the notorious criminal, Left-Face!"
"Why do they call him that, Chief?"
"He lost the entire right side of his face when he fell off the side of an armored car during a robbery, and scraped his head on the pavement for almost a mile. Now, that's all that's left.."

I believe in Harvey Dent.
