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


One is from Chicago , another is from Kentucky , and the
third is from New Orleans .

All three go with a White House official to examine the
fence.

The New Orleans 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 $9,000.
That's $4,000 for materials, $4,000 for my crew and $1,000
profit for me."

The Kentucky contractor also does some measuring and
figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $7,000.
That's $3,000 for materials, $3,000 for my crew and $1,000
profit for me."

The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure,
but leans over to the White House official and whispers,
"$27,000."

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, "$10,000 for me,
$10,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Kentucky to
fix the fence."

"Done!" replies the government official.
 
I was about to laugh but I'm not sure if this is a joke are not.
