joke
So,… the other day I was in New Bedford and I saw two green horns. You know, Portuguese guys who just came over from the old country. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind him and fill the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one man digging a hole, the other filling it in again.
Finally I couldn’t take it any more so I said to the hole digger, "I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting into your work, but I don't get it - why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?"
The hole digger wiped his brow and sighed, "Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today Manny, the guy who plants the trees called in sick."
