Three contractors . . . one from Tanzania, another from Germany and the third from England are bidding to repair the White House fence. They go with a White House official to examine the fence. The England 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 $90,000 . . . $40,000 for materials, $40,000 for labour and $10,000 profit for me.'The Germany contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, 'I can do this job for $70,000 . . . $30,000 for materials, $30,000 for my crew and $10,000 profit for me.' The Tanzanian ' a.k.a m-bongo asilia' contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers: '$270,000.' 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 Tanzanian contractor explains,'$100,000 for you, $100,000 for me and we hire the guy from Germany to do the work….!!!!!
A joke below the belt!
