There were two teams of telephone pole installers.
A team of Americans and a team of Newfies.
Their supervisor went up to them and said, “I’m sorry to say this, but we’ve had budget cuts and one team has to go. For the next three days we’re going to have a contest. The team that installs the most poles stays and the other one goes.”
At the end of the first day both teams went to their supervisor and reported their numbers. The American team put in 20 and the Newfies, 15.
At the end of the second day the Americans had put in 45 and the Newfies had only put in 30.
On the third and final day the Americans put in 50 poles and the Newfies got 35 in.
Their supervisor went up to them and said, “Well I’m sorry to be the one to do this but the American team got more poles in so you Newfies have to go.” The Newfies looked very upset and cheated and one of them said, “No fair, they were only putting their poles in half way!”
