Blackpool tower needs a new lick of Paint. So the foreman in charge finds three men who could do the job. An English man, an Irishman and a Scotsman. The irisman is first to see foreman. The foreman asks, "how much will the job cost in total?" The irishman says "3,000 pounds." "That's great," says the foreman, "could you break that down for me, please?" "Certainly," says the paddy. "That's 1,000 pounds for materials, 1,000 pounds for the labour and 1,000 pounds for myself." "That's fantastic, I'll let you know if you've got the job soon," says the foreman. Next up is the Englishman. The foreman asks the Englishman, "how much will the job cost in total?" The English man says, "6000 pounds." "That's lovely," says the foreman, "could you break that down for me, please?" "Of course," sayss the Englisman. "That's 2,000 pounds for materials, 2,000 pounds for the labour and 2,000 pounds for myself." "That's reasonable, I'll let you know if you've got the job soon," says the foreman. Next to come in is the scotishman. The foreman asks the scotishman "How much will the job cost in total?" The scotishman says "9,000 pounds." "Oh, I see," says the foreman, "could you break that down for me, please?" , of course, laddy,' says the scotishman. "That's 3,000 pounds for myself, 3,000 pounds for you, and we'll get that irish paddy to do the job for 3,000."
