The Nigerian Contractor by tayoast(m): 9:38pm On Feb 23, 2010 |
*culled from one of d national dailies* Three contractors were visiting a tourist attraction centre on d same day. One was from Germany, another from France and d third from Nigeria. At the end of the tour, d guide asked them wat they do for a living. When they all replied that they are contractors, he said "Hey, we need one of the rear fences re-done. Why dont u guys take a look at it and give me a bid?" First to step up was d German. He took out his tape measure and pencil, did some measuring and said, "Well, I figured d job will run about $900. $400 for materials, $400 for my crew, and $100 profit for me." Next was d french 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." Without so much as moving, the Nigerian contractor said, "$2,700." The guide, incredulous, looked at him and said, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?" "Easy," the Nigerian said. "$1000 for you, $1000 for me and we hire the French guy." |
