What about that poor woman that needed her car pd. for and rent money?
Anyway…
My Dad used to say it is better to laugh at a problem than cry.
Soooo….
Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House in D.C.; One from Chicago Illinois, one from Tennessee, and a third from Kentucky. They all go with a White House official to examine the fence
The Tennessee 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 $900.00: $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 $700.00: $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, “$2,700.00″
The official, incredulous, whispers back, “You didn’t even measure like the other guys,
How did you come up with such a high figure?”The Chicago Illinois contractor whispers back, “$1000.00 for me,
$1000 for you, and we hire that guy over there from Kentucky to fix the fence.”‘Done!’ replies Nancy!
Don’t laugh!
