Three Contractors Bid On Repair To The White House Fence

One is from Chicago, another is from Kentucky, and the third is from New Orleans.

All three go with a White House official to examine the fence.

The New Orleans 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 $9,000. That's $4,000 for materials, $4,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."

The Kentucky contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $7,000.

That's $3,000 for materials, $3,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."

The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$27,000."

The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys. How did you come up with such a high figure?

"The Chicago contractor whispers back, "$10,000 for me, $10,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Kentucky to fix the fence."

"Done!" replies the government official.

And that, my friends, is how the Government Stimulus plan worked

Then theres the one about taking 3 races on the jobsite.Blacks,Mexicans,+ whites,individually. there only instruction is to remove this tree. Now the blacks will try to root it up by brute strength,the Mexicans will hit it hot + heavy up one side + down the other into toothpicks in record time,the whites will stand around + look at it + discuss the feasability of forming a committee to built an ax.
