Bids
Posted by: root <root@...>
under the English Channel, estimates ran in the millions of pounds.
One firm asked only 10,000 pounds, however.
"Considering equipment and labor costs", the construction chairman
asked the low bidder, "how do you propose to do the job for such a
pittance?" "It's simple," the contractor replied. "My partner grabs a
shovel, goes to France and starts digging. I take another shovel and
start digging from England. We dig until we meet -- and you've got
a tunnel!" "But what if you never meet?"
"Then you've got TWO tunnels."
Who's Driving Now
===============
Two elderly women were out driving in a large car -- both
could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising
along they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red but
they just went on through. The woman in the passenger seat
thought to herself "I must be losing it; I could have sworn we
just went through a red light,"
After a few more minutes they came to another intersection
and the light was red again and again they went right
through. This time the woman in the passenger seat was
almost sure that the light had been red but was really
concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous
and decided to pay very close attention to the road and the
next intersection to see what was going on.
At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was definitely
red and they went right through and she turned to the other
woman and said, "Mildred! Did you know we just ran through
three red lights in a row! You could have killed us!"
Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh, am I driving?"
