Two Guys Watching

Homeowner comes out mid-afternoon and finds three men standing around one hole.

He's polite about it, but you can see him doing arithmetic. Finally he says, “Not to be rude — but why does it take three of you?”

The oldest one doesn't even look up from the hole. He says…

“One of us is digging.
One of us knows why.
And one of us is going
to have to explain it
to the inspector.”

Also true

The guy standing perfectly still with his hands in his pockets is frequently the most expensive man on the site, and that is usually the correct allocation.
