Pinoy Stupid!

Three contractors are bidding to fix the White House fence. One from the Philippines, another from Mexico and an American. They go with a White House official to examine the fence.

The American 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 about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me.’

The Mexican contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, ‘I can do $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me.

‘The Filipino contractor doesn’t measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers: ‘$2,700.’

The official, incredulous, says, ‘What? You didn’t even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure? How do you expect me to consider your service with that bid?

‘Easy,’ the Pinoy explains, ‘$1,000 for you, $1,000 for me and we hire the guy from Mexico ‘.

The next day, the Pinoy and the Mexican are working on the fence.
