Three contractors are bidding to fix the White House fence. One from the Philippines, another from Mexico and an American. They go with a White House official to examine the fence.

The American contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. “Well”, he says, “I’ll figure out the job will run about $900:� $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me.”

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

The Filipino contractor does not measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers:� “$2,700.”

The White House official, incredulous says, “What? You did not even measure like the other guys!� How did you come up with such a high figure?� How do you expect me to consider your service with that bid.”

“Easy”, the Pinoy explains, “$1,000 for you, $1,000 for me and we hire the guy from Mexico”.

The next day the Pinoy got the contract.
