Contractor Or Government Joke?

Highland61

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."
