This made me smile today
I am still having the greatest difficulty in motivating myself at work, I have not had this kind of post holiday lethargy in years. Anyway, I undertook a nice easy "non-involving" task for a little while - clearing out some of my old e mails. I came across the following joke on an old e mail (or I may have come across it on the internet as I got bored clearing e mails and surfed for a bit!):
An Italian, a Scotsman and a Chinese man, are hired at a construction site.
The foreman points out a huge pile of sand. He says to the Italian guy,"you're in charge of sweeping." To the Scotsman he says, "You're in charge of shovelling." And to the Chinese guy, "you're in charge of supplies."
He then says, "Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect you men to make a dent in that pile of sand." So when the foreman returns after being away for a couple of hours, the pile of sand is untouched.
He asks the Italian, "Why didn't you sweep any of it?" The Italian replies, "I no hava no broom. You saida to the Chinesea fella that he a wasa ina charge of supplies, but he hasa disappeared and I coulda finda hima nowhere."
The foreman turns to the Scotsman and says "and you, I thought I told you to shovel this pile?" The Scotsman replies "aye, that ye did laddie, but ah could nae get maself a shuvel. Ye left the Chinese laddie in charge a' supplies, but ah couldna find him neither."
The foreman is really angry now. He storms off toward the pile of sand to look for the Chinese gent. Just then, the Chinese man leaps out from behind the pile of sand and yells, "SUPPLIES!!" *

In setting up this blog, I have come across a site by Wil Wheaton. He was one of the boys who had a part in the film Stand by Me, based on a Stephen King story. He also played a part in Star Trek: The Next Generation. He is now a writer and plays poker at a fairly competitve level as well as maintaining a pretty amusing blog.
