Loading ...An Italian, a Scotsman and a Chinese fellow are hired at a construction site. The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian guy, “You”re in charge of sweeping.”
To the Irishman, he says, “You”re in charge of shoveling.”
And to the Chinese guy, “You”re in charge of supplies.”
He then says, “Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect you gusy to make a dent in that there pile.”
So the foreman goes away for a couple of hours, and when he returns, the pile of sand is untouched.
He says to the Italian, “Why didn”t you sweep any of it?”
The Italian replies in a heavy accent, “I didn”t have a broom. You said the Chinese guy was in charge of supplies, but he disappeared, and I coulda no find him.”
Then the foreman turns to the Scotsman and asks why he didn”t do any shoveling. The Scotsman replies, in his heavy brogue, “Aye, ye did, lad. But I counna get meself a shovel. Ye left the Chinee in charge of supplies, but I counna fin” him”
The foreman is really angry now and storms off toward the pile of sand looking for the Chinese guy….Just then, the Chinese guy springs out from behind the pile of sand and yells, “SUPPLIES!!!”
