My dad called it We Piddle Around. He told me a couple of the jokes about WPA.

How many WPA workers does it take to mow a lawn?
Seven. Two coming, two going, two watching, one mowing.

And there was the story about the WPA worker that was seriously injured when termites ate his shovel out from under him.

Dad has it right!!

WPA was a perfect example of inefficiency and waste.
