Loose Constructionists
A road consturction manager needed to hire someone to paint the
yellow lines down the middle of a newly constructed road. A blonde,
a brunette, and a redhead all get hired. They are each assigned a
section of the road. The first day, the blonde paints 2 miles, the
redhead 1.5, and the brunette only 1. On the second day, the blonde
paints 1 mile, the brunette 2, and the redheaed 2.5. On the third
day, the blonde only gets 1/4 of a mile done, the redheaed 3, and
the brunette 3.5. The manager decides to talk to the blonde.
"You haven't been painting as much road as you did on the first
day,'' the manager said. ''What's the problem?''
''I'd be painting more, but the bucket keeps getting farther and
farther away!'''
