A little food for thought.
COULD THIS BE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE LOGIC IN ACTION?
A fellow stopped at a rural gas station and, after filling his tank, he
paid
the bill and bought a soft drink.
He stood by his car to drink his cola, and he watched a couple of men
working along the roadside.
One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on.
The other man came along behind and filled in the hole. While one was
digging a new hole, the other was 25 feet behind filling in the old.
The
men worked right past the fellow with the soft drink and went on down
the
road.
"I can't stand this," said the man, tossing the can into a trash
container
and headed down the road toward the men.
"Hold it, hold it," he said to the.men. "Can you tell me what's going on
here with this digging.?"
"Well, we work for the government," one of the men said.
"But one of you is.digging a hole and the other fills it up. You're not
accomplishing anything. Aren't you wasting the taxpayers' money ?"
stated
the man.
"You don't understand, mister," one of the workers said, leaning on his
shovel and wiping his brow.
"Normally there's three of us, Rodney, Mike and me. I dig the hole,
Rodney
sticks in the tree, and Mike here puts the dirt back. Now just because
Rodney's sick, that don't mean that Mike and me can't work".
