Telephone Poles
There was a Midwestern phone company that was going
to hire one team of telephone pole installers and the
boss had to choose between a team of Polish
guys and a team of Irish guys.
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 poles gets the job."
Both teams headed right out.
At end of the shift, the Irish guys came back and
the boss asked them how many they had
installed, and they said that it was tough
going, but they'd put in twelve.
Forty-five minutes later, the Polish guys came back
in and they were totally exhausted.
The boss said, "Well, how m! any poles did you guys
install?"
The team leader wiped his brow and sighed, "We got
three in."
The boss gasped, "Three? Those Irish guys put in
twelve!"
"Yeah," said the Polish leader, "but you should see
how much they left sticking out of the ground!"
