Biker John stopped at a local Gas Station/Convenient Store in West Virginia, and after filling his tank, paid the bill and bought a soft drink.
He stood by his Harley to drink his Fountain Drink.
Watched a couple of Men working along the roadside.
One Man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on.
The other Man came along behind him and filled in the hole.
While one was digging a new hole, the other was 25 feet behind filling in the hole.
The Men worked right past Biker John and went on down the road.
"I can't stand this," said Biker John tossing the empty Fountain Drink into a trash container and headed down the road toward the Men.
"Hold it, hold it," he said to the Men.
"Can you tell me what's going on here with all this digging and refilling?"
"Well, we work for the City Dept. and we're just doing our job," one of the Men said.
"But one of you is digging a hole and the other fills it up!!
You're not accomplishing anything.
Aren't you wasting the Taxpayers' money?"
"You don't understand, Mister," one of the Men said, leaning on his shovel and wiping his brow.
"Normally there's three of us, Me, Elmer, and Leroy.
I dig the hole, Elmer sticks in the tree, and Leroy here puts the dirt back.
You see with the City Dept. sequestering, they are not buying any more trees so Elmer's job's been cut.
So now it's just me an' Leroy...
