Three contractors were touring the Capital on the same day. One was from New York, another from Missouri, and the third from California. At the end of the tour, the guard asked them what they did for a living. When they each replied that they were contractors, the guard said, "Hey we need the dome repaired. Why don't you take a look at it and give me some bids?" First the California contractor took out his tape measure and pencil, did some measuring and said, "I figure the job will run about $1000 - $400 for materials, $400 labor, and $200 profit for me." Next was the Missouri contractor. He also took out his tape measure and pencil, did some calculations and said, "Looks like I can do this job for $700 - $300 for materials, $300 for labor, and $100 profit for me." Finally, the guard asks the New York contractor for his bid. Without batting an eye, the contractor says, "$2700." The guard, incredulous, looks at him and says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?" "Easy," says the contractor from New York, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Missouri." If you know of a clean joke, send it to us. We love to make people laugh - it brightens up everyone's day. |
