Stimulas plan revealed

Two contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House. One is from Chicago, and the other is from Texas.

The Texas contractor 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 Chicago 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 guy! How did you come up with such a high figure?

"The Chicago contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Texas to fix the fence."

"Done!" replies the government official.

And that, my friends, is how the new stimulus plan will work.

Lookit here son, I say son, did ya see that hawk after those hens? He scared 'em! That Rhode Island Red turned white. Then blue. Rhode Island. Red, white, and blue. That's a joke, son. A flag waver. You're built too low. The fast ones go over your head. Ya got a hole in your glove. I keep pitchin' 'em and you keep missin' 'em. Ya gotta keep your eye on the ball. Eye. Ball. I almost had a gag, son. Joke, that is.
