Mom says its about time I re-posted to the blog... but I really dont have much to say.... so.... here's a good joke I just heard.
Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House in D.C.; one from Kentucky, another from Tennessee and the third, from Georgia. They go with a White House official to examine the fence. The Georgia 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 Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, and then says I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me. The Kentucky contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700". 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 Kentucky contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence." "Done", replies the official. And that, my friends, is how our government works!
