Title: White House Fence
Post by tanner on Dec 4^th, 2006, 4:25am

Three contractors are bidding to fix the White House fence. One from the Philippines, another from Mexico and an American.

They go with a White House official to examine the fence.

The American 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 Mexican contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me."

The Filipino contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers: "$2,700."

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

"Easy," the Pinoy explains, "$1,000 for you, $1,000 for me and we hire the guy from Mexico".
