An Italian, an Irishman, and a Chinese fellow are hired at a building
site. The foreman points to a huge pile of sand and says to the
Italian, "You're in charge of sweeping," to the Irishman, "you're
in charge of shoveling," and to the Chinaman, "and you're in charge of
supplies. Now, I have to leave for a little while. When I come back I
want to see a dent in that pile."
So the foreman goes away for a couple hours, and when he returns he
sees the pile of sand is untouched.
He says to the Italian, "Why didn't you sweep any of it?" The Italian
replies, "I didn't have a broom. You said the Chinese man was in
charge of supplies, but he disappeared and I couldn't find him."
So then the foreman turns to the Irishman and asks why he didn't
shovel. The Irishman replies, "I couldn't get myself a shovel. You
left the Chinaman in charge of supplies, but I couldn't find him."
The foreman is really pissed off now, and storms off toward the pile
of sand looking for the Chinese man.
Just then, the Chinese bloke springs out from behind the pile of sand
and yells, "SUPPLIES!"
