Subject: PINOY CONTRACTOR
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 figure 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 doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers: '$2,700.'
The official, incredulous, says, “What?! You didn't 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 and the Mexican are working on the Fence.
