An Italian, a Scotsman, and a Chinese fellow
are
hired at a construction site.
The foreman points to a huge
pile of sand and says to the Italian guy,
"You're in charge of
sweeping." To the Scotsman, he says, "You're
in charge of shoveling."
And to the Chinese guy, "You're in charge
of supplies."
The
foreman then shrugs his beefy shoulders and says, "Now, I have to
leave for a little while. I expect you guys to make a good dent in that
pile of sand by the time I get back."
A few hours later when
the foreman returns, he sees that the pile of
sand is still
untouched.
Pointing to the pile of sand, the forman says to the
Italian, "Why
didn't you sweep any of it?"
The Italian replies in
a heavy accent, "I no gotta broom. You tella
the Chinesea guy he
inna charge of a supplies, but hea disappeara, and I
coulda no finda
him!"
Then the foreman turns to the Scotsman and asks, "
Didn't I tell you
to shovel that sand?"
The Scotsman
replies in his heavy brogue, "Aye, ye did, laddie, but I
couldna get
meself a shovel. Ye left the Chinee in charge of supplies,
but I
couldna find him!"
The foreman is really angry now and storms off
toward the pile of sand,
looking for the Chinese guy.
Just
then, the Chinese guy springs out from behind the pile of sand and
yells, "SUPPLIES!"

An Arab diplomat visiting the U.S. for the
first
time was being wined and dined by the State Department. The Grand
Emir
was unused to the salt in American foods (french fries,
cheeses,
salami, anchovies etc.) and was constantly sending his
manservant Abdul to
fetch him a glass of water. Time and again, Abdul would
scamper off and
return with a glass of water, but then came the
time when he returned
empty-handed. Abdul, you son of an ugly camel,
where is my water?
demanded the Grand Emir. A thousand pardons, O
Illustrious One, stammered the
wretched Abdul, white man sit on
well.
