[COMP] Humor

Three contractors were touring the white house on the same day.  One was
from New York, another from Mississsppi, and the third from Florida.
At the end of the tour, the guard asked them what they did for a
living.  When they each replied that they were contractors the guard
said "Hey, we need one of the rear fences redone.  Why don't you guys
look at it and give me a bid." So to the back fence they went.  First 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 Mississippi 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.  "Then the guard asks the New
York contractor how much.
` Without so much as moving the contractor says, $2700."
The guard, incredulous, looks at him and says "You didn't even measure
like the other guys!  How did you come up with such a high figure?"
"Easy" says the contractor from New York, "$1,000 for me, $1,000 for you
and we hire the guy from Mississippi."
