gotta love The
Smarts of these Italians.......
you gotta love
these Italian entrepreneurs!!!!!
Three
contractors . . . one from Italy , another from Australia and the
third from
Vietnam are bidding to repair the Parliament House fence. They go
with a
Parliamentary official to examine the fence.
The Australian
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 $900 .
. . $400 for materials, $400 for labor and $100 profit for
me."
The Vietnamese
contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says,
"I can do
this job for $700 . . . $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and
$100 profit for
me."
The Italian
contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the
official and
whispers: "$2,700."
The official,
incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other
guys! How did
you come up with such a high figure?"
"Easy,"
the Italian explains, "$1,000 for you, $1,000 for me and we hire the
guy from
Vietnam to do the work." Bada
Bing!!!
