3 Contractors at the White House

Submitted by: webmaster | Views: 435 | Category: At work

Three contractors were touring the White House on the same day. One was from
Michigan, another from Missouri, and the third from Florida. 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 one of the
rear fences redone. Why don't you guys look at it and give me a bid."

So to the back fence they went. First up was the Florida contractor. He took
out his tape measure and pencil, did some measuring and said, "Well I figure
the job will run about $900.00. That's $400.00 for materials, $400.00 for my
crew, and $100.00 profit for me."

Next was the Missouri contractor. He also took out his tape measure and
pencil, did some quick figuring and said, "Looks like I can do this job for
$700. That's $300.00 for materials,$300.00 for my crew, and $100 profit
for me."

Then the guard asks the Michigan contractor how much. Without so much as
even moving the contractor says, "$2,700.00."

The guard incredulously 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 Michigan, "That's $1,000.00 for me,
$1,000.00 for you, and we hire the guy from Missouri."
