There was a Midwestern phone company that was
going to hire one team of telephone pole installers, and the boss had to choose
between a team of two Norwegian guys 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 be
installing 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 they had installed. They said
that it was tough going, but they'd put in twelve.
Forty-five minutes later, Ole and Sven, the
Norwegian guys came back in and they were totally exhausted.
The boss asked, "Well, how many poles did you
guys install?"
Ole, the team leader, wiped his brow and sighed,
"Sven and me, we got three in."
The boss gasped, "Three? Those two Irish guys
put in twelve!"
"Yeah," said Ole, "but you should see how much
they left sticking out of the ground!"
