SOOOOO! how ’bout a joke for the evening………Three Contractors Bid On Repair To The White House Fence: One is fromChicago, another is from Kentucky and the third is from New Orleans. Allthree go with a White House official to examine the fence. The New Orleanscontractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring; then workssome figures with a pencil. “Well,” he says, “I figure the job will runabout $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 Chicagocontractor 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 is why D.C. is called a swamp!
