Two blonde girls were working for the city public works department. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind her and fill the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one girl digging a hole, the other girl filling it in again. An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, 'I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting in to your work, but I don't get it -- why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?' The hole digger wiped her brow and sighed, 'Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the girl who plants the trees called in sick.' | ||

They were not Blonds, they were union employee's. | |||

That's right. I seen 'em. ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

I'm afraid that this ends all suspicion that they were union workers. | |||

Union workers? Seems to me you should get your head out of your arse long enough to look around, especially at night. Electricity is brought to you by hard working union folks. Or maybe when you cross a bridge, or look at a sky scraper, drive down the inter state? These are not built by Rat Labor. Your hospital? School? Or maybe your water treatment plant? 40 hour work week? Overtime pay? Weekends? Yep, you probably need to wipe your eyes out when you get you head out! daniel 77, My eyes fall to your "quote only those worht quoting" Sure ain't you baby. | |||

  Yeah, when I think of union labor, I think of peak efficiency, and getting the most out of every minute of labor paid for. Those road work crews that I keep passing with 15 guys standing around doing nothing for months on end, while maybe 2 guys are driving around some heavy equipment must just be a fluke.I own a business, employ people, and could NEVER SURVIVE if I had to play by all those rules and BS involved with unions. Do you ever wonder why those union based industries, like the Auto industry, are the ones who can't seem to make it without help. I wonder why paying an auto worker $25/hr, plus benefits, to push the green button, then the red button, then the green button again, is a bad business move. BTW, the one who get screwed when the union inevitably can't be sustained are the one's who are retired and depending on reaping the rewards of their 30 years put in. Say, have they finished with the Big Dig up in Mass. yet? How about that I-35 bridge that collapsed up there a few years ago? I guess those union guys were entitled to so many smoke breaks and we shouldn't worry about the bridge falling down? Give me a break, and if you want to pick a fight, try not to start it in the HUMOR forum. | |||

I'm with daniel77. After all, the unions broke GM and the non union people (us) are paying for it. After all it was a BLONDE joke. | |||

I think you're lost. You obviously think you're in the political forum whereas in fact, this is the humour forum.  | |||

Perhaps he is one and missed that small but critical bit of info. Unions have ruined this nations manufacturing base and driven costs through the roof with their collective "givme, givme, givme" attitude. SS Whatdaya mean...........there's other calibers besides 45-70 | |||

Or perhaps it was greedy CEO's pushing for maximum gain on their stock options at the exclusion of maintaince. | |||

I don't think "greedy CEOs" can break a company the way a greedy union can. | |||

I guess the Pyramids of Egypt and the great wall of China have done pretty well without any involvement of the local 76  The price of knowledge is great but the price of ignorance is even greater. | |||

"I guess the Pyramids of Egypt and the great wall of China have done pretty well without any involvement of the local 76" My guess is the King/Queen and emperors made out the best on those projects. All on the back of slaves and peasants I might add. If the Local 76 would have been there the slaves and peasants might have fared a bit better.  | |||

marley, no the all those projects would have never gotten done. | |||

One mild tongue-in-cheek dig about a union gets the typical thug/mob personal attack, complete with "rat" and "we own you" bravado. I've had to kick a couple of IBEW reps off my property before. 'Had to use language that I don't like using, but that's all they understood. I believe most of the members work hard. The reps however are low-life scum that never matured past high school bully stage. | |||

Was on a unlon job in Houston as they did not have enough union hands to finish it. We took our break on the floor we were on . Union electricians all had to meet on the break floor of a 20 story bold. Their breaks went up too one hour as ours went 15 min. FACT. Semper Fi WE BAND OF BUBBAS STC Hunting Club | |||

Hey, I thought the remarks about union efficiency were pretty humorous. And FWIW, when union types sit around the break room, they brag about how much they're screwing the company. It's kinda a "can you top this" thing. Aim for the exit hole | |||

How about driveing companies and states into bankruptcy, and drives jobs overseas? | |||

What about those blondes, though? Geesh. Get back to work you union types. File a complaint with the rep and move along. | ||

I was being FACETIOUS when I asked about the bad points, my basic point being the "worthless and lazy bastards with seniority" was actually the best that unions had to offer, it's all downhill from there. I've never worked in or around a union job, but know plenty who have, on both sides, and it is clear to me, from an OBJECTIVE POV that the unions are responsible for more mediocrity, waste of company resources, increased job costs, and lack of initiative than all other causes of the above put together. Now I agree with Andrew cempa. Let's enjoy the HUMOR forum, what I was trying to do above by making a sarcastic remark. Good day to all. | |||

That is humor!!!!!!!! I been non union construction since 1981! Union motto= protect the mediocre and the bad AT THE EXPENSE OF THE EXCEPTIONAL. Socialist bastards need to move to Russia or China, maybe Cuba. Without tax payer subsidies Unions would be history. . | |||

Unions= work volumes and skill levels are set by the lamest, laziest, most stupid people on the job site. Morning mantra of the union worker: "What is the least I can do and still stay on the payroll." Aim for the exit hole | |||
