A blind man applies for a job at the local wood mill as a wood quality inspector. Baffled, the plant manager calls him in for an interview.
After asking him how he does it, the blind man challenges the manager to test him, that he can grade wood and type simply by smell. He places a block of wood on the desk in front of him.
"that's a good quality piece of fir"
Really stunned, he tests him again with another block.
"that's a very rotted piece of water oak".
The manager, now thoroughly impressed, decided to try to trick him. He pulls his secretary in and has her lift her dress. Blind man takes a sniff. Hrs a little Baffled and asks the manager to turn the wood over.
She turns around and blind man takes another big sniff.
After some thought, he says "well, I'm not sure exactly what type of wood it is, but I do know that it was used as the **** house door on a tuna boat"
