And this my friends, is why we need change!

#1 A fellow stopped at a rural gas station and, after filling his tank, he paid the bill and bought a soft drink. He stood by his car to drink his cola and he watched a couple of men working along the roadside.
#2 One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on.

#3 The other man came along behind and filled in the hole. While one was digging a new hole, the other was about 25 feet behind filling in the old hole.
#4 The men worked right past the fellow with the soft drink and went on down the road.

#5 "I can't stand this," said the man tossing the can in a trash container and heading down the road toward the men.

#6 "Hold it, hold it," he said to the men. "Can you tell me what's going on here with this digging?"

#75 "Well, we work for the county, " one of the men said.

#8 "But one of you is digging a hole and the other fills it up. You're not accomplishing anything."

#9 "Aren't you wasting the taxpayers money?"

#10 "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, Rodney and Mike. I dig the hole, Rodney sticks in the tree and Mike here puts the dirt back..."

#11 "Now just because Rodney's sick, that don't mean that Mike and me can't work!"

#12 And that my friends, is how your hard earned tax money is being spent by the government!
#13 MERICA!!
