| 1469022 | 2020-05-28 21:53:00 | Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the Beehive. One is from Wellington, another is from Dunedin, and the third is from Hamilton. All three go with a Beehive official to examine the fence. The Hamilton contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. Well, he says, I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me. The Dunedin 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 profit for me. The Wellington contractor doesnt measure or figure, but leans over to the Beehive official and whispers, $2,700. The official, incredulous, says, You didnt even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure? The Wellington contractor whispers back, $1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Dunedin to fix the fence. Done! replies the government official. |
