Chicago Style Stimulus Program

(1/1)

Phantom:
Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House.

One is from Chicago, another is from Tennessee, and the third is from Minnesota.
All three go with a White House official to examine the fence.

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

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

    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, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence."

"Done!" replies the government official.

And that, my friends, is how the stimulus plan works

A-FIXER:
Ha.... Ha.....Ha....Ha.... darn it I passed gas on that one..... :laugh:
