Civil Service Joke

A man stopped at a gas station to fill up his car. As he was pumping, he noticed two men working along the side of the road. the first man was digging holes, and the second man was filling them back in.

Curious, the man aproached the pair “What are you two doing?”

The man who had been digging the holes replied “We work for the county. Normally, this is a three man crew. I dig the holes, Bob puts the tree in, and Steve here fills in the hole. Just because Bob is sick today doesn’t mean that Steve and I can’t do our jobs.”
