Contractor or Government Joke?
Here goes....
Three contractors are bidding to fix the White House fence.One from
Chicago, another from Kentucky and the third, Florida. They go with a
White House official to examine the fence.
The Florida contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring,
then works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says. "I figure the
job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100
profit for me."
The Kentucky contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I
can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100
profit for me."
The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the
White House official and whispers: "$2,700."
The official, incredulous,
says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up
with such a high figure?"
"Easy," the Chicagoan explains, "$1,000 for you, $1,000 for me and we
hire the guy from Kentucky."
