A guy stopped at a local gas station & after
filling his tank, he paid the
bill and bought a soft drink. He stood by his car to
drink his cola and watched a couple of men working along the roadside.
One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep
and then move on. The other man came along behind him and filled in the hole.
While one was digging a new hole, the other was 25 feet behind filling in the
hole. The men worked right past the guy with the soft drink and went on down
the road.
"I can't stand this," said the man
tossing the can into a trash container
and heading down the road toward the men.
"Hold it, hold it," he said to the
men. "Can you tell me what's going on
here with all this digging and refilling?"
"Well, we work for the government and we're
just doing our job," one of the
men said.
"But one of you is digging a hole and the
other fills it up. You're not accomplishing anything. Aren't you
wasting the taxpayers' money?"
"You don't understand, mister," one of
the men said, leaning on his shovel
and wiping his brow. "Normally there's
three of us: me, Elmer and Leroy.
I dig the hole, Elmer sticks in the tree, and Leroy
here puts the dirt back.
Elmer's job's been cut... so now it's just me an'
Leroy."

Who, in their right mind would think to write something like this?
