A railway worker asked his foreman: “Do you want any more workers? I have a brother at home that is looking for work.” The foreman asked what sort of a workman his brother was. “Fair sir. He’s as good a worker as I am.”
“All right.”
“Well I am asking for my brother, there is my poor old father at home wanting a job at the same time.”
“Well what sort of man is your father?”
“He’s as good as the two of us.”
“Well,” said the foreman “tell your father to come, and you and your brother can stay away.”
