"Roadside Workers" joke
A fellow stopped at a rural gas station and, after filling his tank, bought a soda and stood by his car drinking it. As he relaxed, he watched two men working along the roadside.
One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on. The other man came along behind him and filled the hole in. While one would dig a new hole, the other man would fill in the previous one. The men worked right past the fellow with the soda and continued on down the road.
Filled with curiousity, the fellow headed down the road toward the two men. "Could you tell me what's going on here with this digging?" he asked.
"We're county government workers," one replied.
"But one of you is digging a hole and the other is filling it up. It doesn't look like you're accomplishing anything, except maybe wasting the taxpayers' money," the fellow said.
"Well, sir, usually there are three of us - myself, Rick and Mitch," one of the men explained. "I dig the hole, Rick sticks the tree in and Mitch here puts the dirt back. Just because Rick's sick, that don't mean me and Mitch can't work, does it?"
