Telephone pole installers
There was a Georgia phone company that was going to hire one team of
telephone pole installers, and the boss had to choose between a team of two
rednecks and a team of two Irish guys.
So the boss met with both teams and said: "Here's what we'll do. Each team
will be installing poles out on the new road for a day. The team that
installs the most phone poles gets the job."
Both teams headed right out. At end of the shift, Pat and Mike, the Irish
guys, came back and the boss asked them how many they had installed. They
said that it was tough going, but they'd put in twelve.
Forty-five minutes later, Bubba and Derrell, the redneck guys came back and
they were totally exhausted. The boss asked, "Well, how many poles did you
guys install?" Bubba, the team leader wiped his brow and sighed, "Derrell
and me, we got three in."
The boss gasped, "Three?" "Those two Irish guys put in twelve!"
"Yeah," said Derrell, "but you should see how much they left stickin' out
of the ground!"
