THE INDIAN WAY OF DOING THINGS!!!!!


Three contractors . . . one from India, another from Germany and the
third
from England are bidding to repair the White House fence. They go with a
White House official to examine the fence.

The English 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 $900 . . . $400 for materials,
$400 for labour and $100 profit for me."

The German contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says,
"I

can do this job for $700 . . . $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and
$100 profit for me."

The Indian contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the
White House official and
whispers: "$2,700."

The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the
other guys! How did you.come
up with such a high figure?"

"Easy," the Indian explains, "$1,000 for you, $1,000 for me and we hire
the guy from Germany to do the work
