Three contractors are bidding to fix the fence at
Jamaica House.
One is from Montego Bay, another from Kingston and
the third, from Mandeville. They go with an official
from Jamaica House, to examine the fence. The Mo-Bay
contractor takes out a tape measure and does some
measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.
"Well,"he says. "De job gwine run yuh 'bout $90,000:
$40,000 fi material, $40,000 fi my crew an' $10,000
profit fi me." The Mandeville contractor also does
some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do
dis job fi $70,000; $30,000 fi material, $30,000 fi
my crew and $10,000 profit fi Mass Me."The Kingston
contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over
to the Jamaica House official and whispers:
"$270,000." The official, incredulous, observes:
"Yuh didn't even tek measurement like de addah
contractah dem! Weh yuh get such a high
figgah?""Easy man," the Kingstonian explains, "Look
yah! $100,000 fi you, $100,000 fi me an' we hire de
breddah from Mandeville".
