Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House. One is from Chicago, another is from Tennessee, and the third is from Minnesota.

> 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

>

> The Chicago 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?" The Chicago contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence."

>

> "Done!" replies the government official.

> And that, my friends, is how the new stimulus plan will work….

Let me explain.

It's like I tell my wife when she is watching CSI or whatever it is she is looking at on the idiot box......"It's just a tv show honey, relax."

You can substitute joke for tv show.
