Joke
Two dimwitted ditchdiggers got upset by the fact that they did all the hard work and received only one-tenth of the pay of the crew boss. Finally deciding to confront his boss, one guy climbed out of the ditch and went over to the foreman, who was leaning against a tree reading the racing form. “How come we do all the hard work while you sit here and earn ten times as much?” he demanded.
“Intelligence” was the crew boss’s answer. “Let me give you an example.” He put his hand in front of the tree. “See my hand? Hit it as hard as you can.”
The ditchdigger took a mighty swing, the boss moved his hand at the last minute, and commented to the worker, now clutching his bruised fist, “See what I mean?”
Back in the ditch, the second guy eagerly questioned his friend, “It’s a matter of intelligence” was the reply. “Let me give you an example: hit my hand as hard as you can.” And he held it up in front of his face.
