Three contractors are bidding to fix the Whitehouse fence. One from Florida, another from Kentucky and the third, Chicago. They go with a Whitehouse official to examine the fence. The Florida 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: $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: $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?" "Easy," the Chicagoan explains, "$10,000 for you, $10,000 for me, and we hire the guy from Kentucky." |
