A telephone company was looking to hire a group of guys for a job lining up telephone poles. One group was Irish and the other group was Polish. So there would be a competition and the group that lined up the most poles would get the contract. The Irish group went first. After 3 hours they returned and when asked how many they did, they replied "We did 6 poles." Not bad. Well, 6 hours went by and the Polish group finally returned. When asked how many poles they did, they replied "We did 3 poles." The guy deciding who will get the job said "Only 3 poles!!! the Irish guys did 6 poles in half the time!!!" The Polish guys responded with "Yea, but did you see how much of the pole they left sticking out of the ground?"
