Somehow I don’t remember watching this when it occurred and feeling proud to be a citizen of the world.

Government Stimulus
Three contractors are bidding to lay pink bat insulation at The Aussie Prime Minister's residence, The Lodge, in the nation's capital, Canberra.
One is from Sydney, another is from Melbourne, and the third is a local. All three go with a Government official to examine the task.
The Sydney contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.
"Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $9,000. That's $4,000 for materials, $4,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."
The Melbourne contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $7,000. That's $3,000 for materials, $3,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."
The Canberra contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the Government’s Lodge official and whispers, "$27,000."
The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys. How did you come up with such a high figure?"
"The Canberra contractor whispers back, "$10,000 for me, $10,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Melbourne to lay the bats."
"Done!" replies the government official.
And that, my friends, is how the Government Stimulus plan worked.
Remember ... three boxes keep us free: The soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and if you were in America, the cartridge box.
I love my country; it's the government I'm afraid of!

Years of isolation from the mainstream, obviously. PS: So, is Minot 'Min-ot' or 'Minno'?

It must be catching: We got rid of our useless CINO ** Prime Minister a couple of weeks ago by internal action. ** Conservative In Name Only. Doesn't have the same ring as RINO.
