THE LOUISIANA WAY

The steps at the Louisiana state capitol needed some repairs so

bids were solicited from carpenters from across the state and were presented to

the Governor.



First a carpenter from Carencro looks it over. After a session of

measuring and figuring he presents his bid.



I can do it for $9,000, he says, "I'd need $4,000 for materials,

$4,000 for my crew, and $1,000 profit for me."



Next a coonass from Lafayette does his measuring and calculating,

then says, "I'll do it for $7,000, $3,000 for materials, $3,000

for my crew, and $1,000 profit for me."



Last a Cajun from Breaux Bridge steps up. Without even looking at

the job site he says, "I'll do it for $27,000."



Surprised at how high it is, the Governor asks him to explain it.

"It's simple," he says, "$10,000 for me, $10,000 for you, and we

hire the guy from Lafayette."





The Governor used his $10,000 to buy his girlfriend a Rolex. :lol:
