Blonde Road Crew
A group of blondes applied for a job painting lines on the new highway. The foreman was worried because they had no experience, but the project manager pointed out that they were the lowest bid, and after all how hard could it be.
So the foreman showed them the line painting truck, gave some advice on painting a straight line, and asked if they had any questions. One blonde asked how far apart the lines should be painted. The foreman told them 25 feet, and showed them on a map what section of the highway they would be responsible for that day.
The blondes set off, and the foreman went about other tasks.
In the early evening the project manager asked about the new crew and how they did. The foreman replied he hadn’t seen them return yet. They waited for hours and late into the night they were about to get in a truck and go to check up on them when the blondes returned.
The foreman asked them what took them so long and one of the blondes said the truck kept getting stuck in the ditch. The foreman thought they meant the shoulder line and figured he’d check on it in the morning.
The next morning the foreman drove out to the section the blondes had painted. He could not believe his eyes. There, on the brand new highway, every 25 feet, lines were neatly painted across the road.
