[The Bolvine Gigolo!]

    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.

    All three go with a White House official to examine the fence. The
    Minnesota 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 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 profit for me."

    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 leaned in and whispered 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.

Ain't that going to be the truth!
