Two blonde girls were working for the city public works department. One
would dig a hole and the other would follow behind her and fill the hole
in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then
moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one
girl digging a hole, the other girl filling it in again. An onlooker was
amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing.
So he asked the hole digger, "I'm impressed by the effort you two are
putting into your work, but I don't get it -- why do you dig a hole,
only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?" The hole
digger wiped her brow and sighed, "Well, I suppose it probably looks odd
because we're normally a three-person team. But today the girl who
plants the trees called in sick."
