A Maine Phone Company was going to hire a team of telephone pole
installers, and the boss had to choose between a team of two rednecks
and a team of two Irish guys. So the boss met with both teams and
said: "Here's what we'll do. Each team will install poles out on the new
road for a day. The team that installs the most phone poles gets the job".
Both teams headed right out. At end of the shift, Pat and Mike, the
Irish guys, came back and the boss asked them how many poles they had
installed. They said that it was tough going, but they had managed to put in
twelve telephone poles .........
Forty-five minutes later, Bubba and Calvin, the redneck guys, came
back
and they were totally exhausted. The boss asked, "Well, how many poles did
you guys install ?"
Bubba, the team leader wiped his brow and sighed, "Calvin and me,
we got three poles put in."
The boss gasped, "Three ? Those two Irish guys put in twelve !!!"
"Yeah," said Bubba, "but you should see how much of each one they
left stickin' out of the ground !!!"
