7. Three contractors are bidding to fix the White House fence. An American, a Mexican and a Filipino. They go with a White House official to examine the fence.

American contractor takes out a tape measure, does some measurement, works some figures with a pencil, and says: 'Well, I'll figure out the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me.'

Mexican contractor did the same measuring and figuring, then says, 'I can do $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me.

Filipino contractor does not measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers: '$2,700.'

White House official, incredulous says, 'What? You did not 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 Filipino explains', '$1,000 for you, $1,000 for me and we hire the guy from Mexico (winks)

The next day the Filipino got the contract.
