needed to hire a team of telephone pole installers for Fort McMurray
and the boss had to choose between a team of two guys from
Ireland and a team of two Polish 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, Bud and Buddy, the Polish guys came back in and
they were totally exhausted.
The boss
asked, "Well, how many poles did you guys
install?"
Bud, the
team leader, wiped his brow and sighed, "Buddy and me, we got three
in.
"The boss
gasped, "Three? Those two Irish guys put in
twelve!"
"Yeah,"
said Bud, "but you should see how much they left sticking out of the
ground!"
