Government Work

"Yet Another Genie Joke"*

*A Government Employee sits in his office and out
of boredom, decides to see what's in his old filing
cabinet. Poking through the contents and comes
across an old brass lamp.

"This will look nice on my mantelpiece," he decides,
and takes it home with him. While polishing the
lamp, a genie appears and grants him three wishes.

"I wish for an ice cold diet Pepsi right now!" He gets
his Pepsi and drinks it.

Now that he can think more clearly, he states his
second wish: "I wish to be on an island where
beautiful nymphomaniacs reside."

Suddenly he is on an island with gorgeous females eyeing him lustfully.

He tells the genie his third and last wish: "I wish
never to have to work ever again."

POOF!

He's back in his government office.

"Government Work"*

*A fellow stopped at a rural gas station and, after filling
his tank, he paid the bill and bought a soft drink. He
stood by his car to drink his cola and he watched a
couple of men working along the roadside.

One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and
then move on. The other man came along behind and
filled in the hole. While one was digging a new hole,
the other was 25 feet behind filling in the old. The men
worked right past the fellow with the soft drink and went on down the road.

"I can't stand this," said the man tossing the can into
a trash container and heading down the road toward the men.

"Hold it, hold it," he said to the men. "Can you tell me
what's going on here with this digging?"

"Well, we work for the government," one of the men said.

"But one of you is digging a hole and the other fills it up.
You're not accomplishing anything. Aren't you wasting
the taxpayers' money?"

"You don't understand, mister," one of the men said,
leaning on his shovel and wiping his brow. "Normally
there's three of us--me, Rodney, and Mike. I dig the
hole, Rodney sticks in the tree and Mike, here, puts
the dirt back. Now just because Rodney's sick, that
don't mean that Mike and me can't work."
