There’s a Swede, a Norwegian and a Chinaman,
and they all get hired to work on the railroad.
The foreman tells the Swede, “You’re in charge of setting the railroad ties.”
He tells the Norwegian, “You’re in charge of hammering the ties down.”
He tells the Chinaman, “You’re in charge of supplies.”
They all nod in agreement, and the foreman leaves.
A few days later, the foreman shows up and sees the Swede and the Norwegian.
“How is everything going?” he asks.
“We’re almost out of supplies, and we haven’t seen the Chinaman for three days.”
So the men set out to find him, but just then,
he jumps out from around a corner, yelling, “Supplies!”
I had not heard that one. It was funny. Thanks.
