Sorry to high jack this thread...but I thought some humor was needed

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House. One is from Chicago , another is from Alabama , and the third is from Texas . All three go with a White House official to examine the fence. The Texas 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 $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me."

The Alabama contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me."

The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700."

The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"

The Chicago contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Alabama to fix the fence."

"Done!", replies the government official.

And that, my friends, is how the new stimulus plan will work
