Hard Work
A road construction manager needed to hire someone
to paint the yellow lines down the middle of a newly constructed
road. A blonde, a brunette, and a redhead all get hired. They
are each assigned a section of the road.
The first day, the blonde paints 2 miles, the redhead 1.5, and
the brunette only 1. On the second day, the blonde paints 1 mile,
the brunette 2, and the redhead 2.5. On the third day, the blonde
only gets 1/4 of a mile done, the redhead 3, and the brunette
3.5.
The manager decides to talk to the blonde. "You haven't been painting
as much road as you did on the first day. What's the problem?"
"I'd be painting more, but the bucket keeps getting farther and
farther away!"
