FUNNY BUT TRUE!
Three contractors are bidding to fix the fence at Red House.
One is from San Fernando , another from Port of Spain and the
third, from Sangre Grande. They go with an official from the Red
House, to examine the fence.
The Sando contractor takes out a tape measure and does some
measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well,"he says.
"De job go run yuh 'bout $900: $400 for material, $400 for my crew
an' $100 profit for me."
The Grande contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then
says, "I can do dis job for $700; $300 for material, $300 for my
crew and $100 profit for Me. "
The POS contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the
Red House official and whispers: "$2,700."
The official, incredulous, observes: "Yuh didn't even tek
measurement like de addah contractah dem! Weh yuh get such a high
figgah?"
"Easy man," the POS contractor explains, "Look yah! $1,000 for you,
$1,000 for me an' we hire de breddah from Grande."
