Smart Ugandans

Ugandans are smarter.

Three contractors were bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House
in Washington D.C.
One was from
Bangladesh , another from Uganda and the third, from China
.
They went with a White House official to examine the fence.
The Bangladesh contractor took out a
tape measure and did some
measuring, then worked some figures with a pencil. "Well", he says, "I
figure the job will need about $900. ($400 for materials, $400 for my
team and $100 profit for me)".
The Chinese contractor also did some measuring and figuring, then says,
"I can do this job for $700. ($300 for materials, $300 for my team and
$100 profit for me)".
The Ugandan contractor didn't measure or figure, but leans over to the
White House official and whispers, "$2,700."
The official says, incredulous, "You didn't even measure like the other
guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"
The Ugandan contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and
we hire the guy from China to fix the fence."
"Done!" replied the government official
