HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE
- submitted by Peter Hudak
One day a bunch of workers were digging a hole. While the
men were digging, there was a supervisor telling them where
to dig. The men in the hole figured that the supervisor was
getting paid more for doing less. They sent a worker up to
ask the supervisor why this was the case.
The supervisor said, "Because I'm smarter than you. That's why!"
The worker argued with this man for a while. So the supervisor
pulled the worker aside and brought him to a nearby telephone
pole. He put his hand on the telephone pole and said, "Hit my
hand."
The worker said, "Nah, I ain't gonna hit your hand!" But the
supervisor insisted.
So, the worker tightened his fist and tried to hit the supervisor's
hand. But the supervisor pulled his hand away, and the worker hit
the telephone pole with full force, causing his hand to bleed. The
supervisor said, "See. That's why I'm smarter than you."
The worker went back to the hole with his bloody hand and started
digging again. The other workers came up to him and asked, "What
did he say?" The worker replied, "Let's put it this way..."
then
he paused. He looked around and said, "Well, there don't seem to
be any telephone poles around here." So he put his hand in front
of his face and said, "Alright, try to hit my hand."
