The Story of Three Contractors
Three contractors were visiting a tourist attraction on the same
day. One was from New York, another from Texas, and the third from Florida.
At the end of the tour, the guard asked them what they did for a living.
When they all replied that they were contractors, the guard said, "Hey, we
need one of the rear fences redone. Why don't you guys take a look at it and
give me a bid?"
So, to the back fence they all went to check it out.
First to step up was the Florida contractor. He took out his tape measure
and pencil, did some measuring and said, "Well I figure the job will run
about $900. $400 for materials, $400 for my crew, and $100 profit for me."
Next was the Texas contractor. He also took out his tape measure and pencil,
did some quick figuring and said, "Looks like I can do this job for $700.
$300 for materials, $300 for my crew, and $100 profit for me.
Without so much as moving, the New York contractor said, "$2,700."
The guard, incredulous, looked at him and said, "You didn't even measure
like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"
"Easy," he said $1,000 for me, $1,000 for you and we hire the guy from
Texas."

A Contractor in Heaven
A contractor dies on a fishing accident on his 40th birthday and
finds himself greeted at the Pearly Gates by a brass band.
Saint Peter runs over, shakes his hand and says "Congratulations!"
"Congratulations for what?" asks the contractor
"Congratulations for what?" says Saint Peter. "We are celebrating the fact
that you lived to be 160 years old."
"But that's not true," says the consultant. "I only lived to be forty."
"That's impossible," says Saint Peter, "we added up your time sheets."

BLONDE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
Two blondes were working on a house. The one who was nailing down siding
would reach into his nail pouch, pull out a nail and either toss it over his
shoulder or nail it in.
The other blonde, figuring this was worth looking into, asked, "Why are you
throwing those nails away?"
The first blonde explained, "If I pull a nail out of my pouch and it's
pointed TOWARD me, I throw it away 'cause it's defective. If it's pointed
toward the HOUSE, then I nail it in!"
The second blonde got really upset and yelled, "You MORON!!! The nails
pointed toward you aren't defective! They're for the OTHER side of the
house!!"

The Blonde Handyman
A blonde, wanting to earn some
money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing
a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and
asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do. "Well, you can paint my
porch. How much will you charge?"
The blonde said "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told her that the
paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage.
The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her
husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the
house?" The man replied, "She should. She was standing on the porch."
A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had
paint left over, so I gave it two coats."
Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," the
blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."
