Three contractors were bidding to fix a broken fence at the U.S. Capital.  The first contractor told the Congressman, “I figure the job will run about $900.  That’s $400 for materials, $400 for my crew, and $100 profit for me.”

The second contractor announced, “I can do this job for $700.  That’s $300 for materials, $300 for my crew, and $100 profit for me.”

The third contractor leaned over to the Congressman and whispered, “$2700.”

The incredulous lawmaker asked him, “How did you come up with such a high figure?”

The contractor smiled and said, “$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the second guy to fix the fence.”
