In A Lighter Vein...

Through the looking glass

The branch manager of a public sector bank had only one eye but his handicap was never easy to spot thanks to a beautifully made glass eye. He set a rule that anyone wanting a loan will have to answer his question first. They had to tell which one of his eyes was genuine.

Apparently nobody could figure out and they were all denied credit. One day, a corporate captain did manage to give the right answer.
