A BIT OF HUMOR

A man stopped at a local 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 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 him and filled in the hole. While one was 
digging a new hole, the other was 25 feet behind filling in the hole. The men 
worked right past the guy with the soft drink and went on down the road. 

"I can't stand this," said the man tossing the can into a recycle container and 
heading 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 all this digging and refilling?" 

"Well, we work for the government and we're just doing our job," 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?" 

"You don't understand, mister," one of the men said, leaning on his shovel and 
wiping his brow. "Normally there's three of us: me, Greg and Matt. I dig the 
hole, Greg sticks in the tree, and Matt here puts the dirt back. Greg's job's 
been cut so now it's just me an' Matt."
