An Italian, an Irishman and a Chinese fellow are hired at a construction site.
The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian guy,
"You're in charge of sweeping," to the Irishman, "You're in charge of
shoveling," and to the Chinese guy, "And you're in charge of supplies. "Now,
I have to leave for a little while. I expect you guys to make a dent in that
pile."
So the foreman goes away for a couple hours, and when he returns, the pile of
sand is untouched. He says to the Italian, "Why didn't you sweep any of it?"
The Italian replies, "I didn't have a broom. You said the Chinese guy was in
charge of supplies, but he disappeared and I couldn't find him."
So then the foreman turns to the Irishman and asks why he didn't shovel. The
Irishman replies, "I couldn't get myself a shovel. You left the Chinese guy in
charge of supplies, but I couldn't find him."
The foreman is really pissed off now, and storms off toward the pile of sand
looking for the Chinese guy.
Just then, the Chinese guy springs out from behind the pile of sand and yells
'SUPPLIES!"
