More PUN-ishment. I hope the non-Anglo-Saxons understand this really cute story.
An Italian, a Scotsman and a Chinese fellow are hired at a construction
site. The foreman points out a huge pile of sand. He says to the Italian
guy, \"You\'re in charge of sweeping.\"
To the Scotsman he says, \"You\'re in charge of shoveling.\"
And to the Chinese guy, \"You\'re in charge of supplies. Now, I have to leave
for a little while. I expect you guys to make a dent in that pile of sand
while I\'m gone.\"
When the foreman returns after a couple of hours the pile of sand is
untouched. He asks the Italian, \"Why didn\'t you sweep any of it?\"
The Italian replies, \"I no hava broom. You saida to the Chinese-a fella
that he wasa in a charge ofa supplies, but he hasa disappear and I no
coulda finda him nowhere.\"
Then the foreman turns to the Scotsman and says, \"And you, I thought I told
you to shovel this pile.\"
The Scotsman replies, \"Aye, that ye did laddie, boot ah couldn\' get meself
a shoovel! Ye left th\' Chinese gadgie in chairge of supplies, boot ah
couldn\' fin\' him neither.\"
The foreman is really angry now. He storms off toward the pile of sand to
look for the Chinese guy. Just then, the Chinese guy leaps out from behind
the pile of sand and yells... \"SUPPLIES!!!\"
