A Tennessee phone company was going to hire a ream of telephone pole installers, and the GM had to choose between a team of two rednecks or a team of Yankee guys.
So the GM met with both teams and said, "Here's what we'll do . Both teams will install poles out on the new road for a day. The team that installs the most telephone poles gets the job."
Both teams head right out and start working. At the end of the shift, Pat and Mike, the two yankee guys returned to the office, and are asked by the GM, how many poles did they install.
They said that it was tough going, but they'd put in twelve.
Forty-five minutes later, Bubba and Darrell, the redneck guys came back totally exhausted. The GM says, "Well, how many poles did you guys install?"
Bubba, the team leader, wipes his brow and sighs, "Darrell and me, we got in three."
The GM gasps, "Three? Those two Yankees put in twelve!"
"Yeah," said Bubba, "but you should see how much they left sticking outta the ground!":lol:
