There were two guys working for the
city. One would dig a hole — he would dig, dig, dig.
The other would come behind him and fill the hole — fill, fill, fill. These two
men worked furiously; one digging a hole, the other filling it up again.
A man was watching from the sidewalk and couldn’t believe how hard these men
were working, but couldn’t understand what they were doing. Finally he had to
ask them.
He said to the hole digger, “I appreciate how hard you work, but what are you
doing? You dig a hole and your partner comes behind you and fills it up again!”
The hole digger replied, “Oh yeah, must look funny, but the guy who plants the
trees is sick today.”
