Whitehouse Fence; a funny

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."
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.
