Telegraph Poles

[brianhabby]

British Telecom needed to hire a team of telephone pole installers, and the boss had to choose between a team of two guys from England and a team of two Irish guys.
So the boss met both teams and said "Here's what we'll do
Each team will be installing poles out on the new road for a day. The team that installs the most poles gets the job."
Both teams headed right out
At end of the shift, the two English guys, came back and the boss asked them how many they had installed.
They said that it was tough going, but they'd put in twelve.
Forty-five minutes later Paddy and Mick, the Irish guys, came back in and they were totally exhausted. The boss asked, "Well, how many poles did you guys install?"
Mick, the team leader, wiped his brow and sighed, "Paddy and me, we got three in." "The boss gasped, "Three? Those two English guys put in twelve!"
"Yeah," said Mick, "but you should see how much they left sticking out of the ground!!.

I'm not really surprised the Irish took so long.

If the cables are going underground then the poles can't have too much stuck up in the air can they :?

Still like it though :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
