Joke English 008 - Pinoy Contractor
|
PINOY CONTRACTORThree 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'll figure out 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 does not measure or figure, but leans over to
the White House official and whispers: "$2,700." The White House official, incredulous says, "What?, You did not even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?" "How do you expect me to consider your service with that bid." "Easy, the Pinoy explains", "$1,000 for you, $1,000 for me and we hire the
guy from Mexico."The next day the Pinoy got the contract.
