You Get What You Give,,,,,,,,,

[SlowlySinking]

A guy stops at a 7-11 and buys a coffee. It's a nice day so he stands by his car to drink the coffee and notices a couple of City Employees working along the roadside. <br /><br />One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep while the other man leaned on his shovel and watched. The other man then filled in the hole while the first man leaned on his shovel and watched. This continued down the road right past the guy with the coffee.<br /><br />After watching this for a while the man thinks, "I can't stand this, my taxes pay thier salaries". <br /><br />He approaches the men and says, "Wait a minute, what's going on here with all this useless digging and refilling?"<br /><br />One man responded, "Well sir, we work for the City and we're just doing what the foreman told us to do; it's our job," the other man said.<br /><br />"Your job, are you nuts, one of you is digging a hole and the other fills it up. You're not accomplishing anything, you're wasting my taxes?"<br /><br />Well now sir, you don't understand, one of the men said, leaning on his shovel and wiping his brow. "Normally there's three of us doing this job: there's me, and Elmer and Leroy. I dig the hole, Elmer sticks in the tree, and Leroy puts the dirt back. <br /><br />But the City laid off Elmer, so now it's just me and Leroy."

Do what I do the next time you see them propping up their shovels:<br /><br />As you slowly drive past, yell out loud:<br /><br />NICE TO SEE OUR TAX MONEY HARD AT WORK" !!!<br /><br />You might want to step on the gas afterwards...The least you'll get is a few one-fingered salutes!<br /><br />I use my PA horn...It really gets their attention.<br /><br />H.

Easy now guys, for 8 years I used to work on a County Road Dept I Know for a fact that it takes a total of 12 guys to put the a tree in the ground.<br />1. The director need to tell the road dept supr. to put the tree in the ground.<br />2. The road supr will then call in the survey team to survey where the tree will go.<br />3. After mark out the supr will tell the Road crew foreman to plant a tree.<br />4. The Road foreman will gather his crew and request 2 other from another crew for flagging duties. <br />5. Morning coffee break.<br />6.The Equipment operator will dig the hole being guided by an observer.<br />7. Lunch break!!<br />8. 2 guys will tie a rope around the tree and attach it to the bucket so the operator can lift and lower the 3 foot high tree.<br />9. With the operator lowering the tree the 2 guys one on the North side and one on the east side will check for plumb.<br />10. 3 guys to fill the hole and 1 to head back to the yard and get more top soil, because when the hole was dug it was scattered to the winds, and seed.<br />11. Hole is filled and guys are shoveling soil back into truck because too much was dumped.<br />12. Finally done head to coffe shop for afternoon break that was missed.<br />13. Go home collecting 4 hours overtime and congratualting themselves for a job well done.<br />--------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Oh yeah! School is spelled "schole"<br />One day argued with the jacka** that was painting this on the road. Made the papers and all went out the next week to remove it and spell it right. <br /><br />Finally got smart went back to SCHOOL an finished college received my degree and here I am.
