An Italian, an Irishman and a Chinese are hired to work on a construction site. On the first day the foreman points to a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian, "You're in charge of sweeping." To the Irishman he says, "You're in charge of shovelling." To the Chinese he says, "You're in charge of supplies."


He tells them that he has to go somewhere and when he returns 2 hours later he finds the huge pile of sand untouched. "Why didn't you sweep any of it?" he asks the Italian. The Italian replies in a heavy accent,"I no gotta broom, an you tella me dat da Chinese'a guy supposa bringa da supplies but he disappear and I no finda him".


The foreman then turns to the Irishman and asks why he didn't shovel. "Aye, well I couldn't get meself a shovel. Ye left the Chinese fella in charge of supplies but I couldna find him".


The foreman is furious & storms off looking for the Chinese fellow. He can't find him anywhere and is getting angrier by the minute.

Suddenly the Chinese man jumps out from behind the pile of sand and yells .... "SUPPLIES!!!"
