The county advertised for a new employee to paint the
white lines down the
middle of the roads.
A blonde lady was the only applicant and she got the job.
On the first day, she painted an impressive 50 miles of
road, and her boss
was very proud.
On her second day, she painted 25 miles of road, and her
boss thought that
was just fine.
On her third day she painted only 15 miles of road, and
her boss was
starting to get concerned.
On her fourth day she painted a mere 7 miles of road. Her
boss asked her
why she kept painting less and less road.
"Well," she answered, "each day the paint bucket is
further and further
away!".
