Subject: offensive to rednecks

Two rednecks were sweating it out in the construction pit when one turns
to the other and says,
	"Hey, how cum we gotta work our arses off while the foreman gits
	 off easy?  How cum he's so special?"
The other guy scratches his head for a while and replies,
	"Uh, beats me.  Why don't you go over there and ask him?"
So the first redneck goes off and finds the foreman, and asks him.
	"Hey, how cum you so special?  How cum you get off easy when we
	 gotta work our arses off?"
The foreman thinks about this for a while and responds,
	"Alright, I'll tell you why.  In fact I'll show you why."
The foreman then puts his hand in front of a telephone pole and says,
	"See my hand here.  I want you to punch it as hard as you can.
	 Go ahead, hit it as hard as you can."
So the redneck grins and obliges by taking a big swing.  Only, at the last
second, the foreman pulls his hand away and the redneck smashes his fist
against the telephone pole.  As the redneck holds his busted fist in pain,
the foreman asks,
	"Now do you understand how come I'm the foreman?"
The redneck acknowledges his wisdom and goes back to work.  The second
redneck seeing the first redneck returning, asks,
	"Well, what did he say?  Did you get an answer?"
The first redneck considers for a moment and then looks around.  Seeing no
telephone poles nearby, he puts his hand in front of his face and says,
	"See my hand here?  Go ahead, hit it as hard as you can...."


Note that this joke (like others) is best told in person with the teller
demonstrating the events with hand in front of the wall and later in front
of the teller's face for the punchline.  My apologies to rednecks,
construction workers, foremen and others who might be offended by this joke.
