Three contractors are bidding to fix the White House fence. One from New Jersey, another from Tennessee and the third from Florida. They follow a White House official to examine the fence.

The Florida contractor takes out a tape measure, does some measuring and works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me."

The Tennessee contractor also 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 New Jersey 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 guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"

"Easy," the Jerseyan explains, "$1,000 for you, $1,000 for me and we hire the guy from Tennessee."
