A Smart Employer

The greedy employer had the pile of

application letters on his table.

There were more than one hundred of them.

He had a glance at each of them.

One after another the letters went into

the waste paper basket.

His comment was :

this one was greedy,

he did not mention how much he expected.

Can I pay him $100000.00 per month?

No way.

This one thought he was smart.

He worked in a refinery

and he wanted $5500.00 per month.

This greedy Malaysian.

Ha, Ha, I found the best one

also from refinery and he asked only

$1600.00 per month.

That’s why we must not employ

the Malaysians again.

The project was started

The cheap engineer came in

His crew dug out the underground high tension cable

with a trenching hoe

causing the company $1000000.00 in fine

The technician who tested the vessel was killed

because he used the compressed air instead of water

The test rig was also poorly designed and constructed

The other technicians were testing

an underground pipeline

with compressed air.

They blew up the soil which was 36 inches above the pipe

Any animal which was unlucky

to be on that ground at that moment

would have been killed.

Another technician used compressed air

to clear up a soil pipe which was clogged.

The pipe burst sending shits on the tables

of the many VIPs who allowed them to work there.

How can you trust an employer

who does not know the difference

between oil & gas refinery

and a sugar refinery ?
