Two blonde girls were working for the city public works department.
One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind her and fill
the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other,
then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest
-- one girl digging a hole, the other girl filling it in again.
An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand
what they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, 'I'm impressed
by the effort you two are putting in to your work, but I don't get it -- why
do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up
again?'
The hole digger wiped her brow and sighed, 'Well, I suppose it probably
looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the
girl who plants the trees called in sick.'
