Three contractors were visiting a tourist
attraction on the same day. One was
from Nigeria, another from Germany, and
the third from France.
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 & give me a
bid?" So, to the back fence they all went
to check it out.
First to step up was the German
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 French 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 Nigerian
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 you, $1,000
for me and we hire the guy from France."
