A blonde who had been unemployed for several
months got a job with Public Works. She was to
paint lines down the center of a rural road. The
supervisor told her that she was on probation and
that she must stay at or above the set average of
two miles per day to remain employed.
The blonde agreed to the conditions and started
right away. The supervisor checking up at the end
of the day, found that the blonde had completed
four miles on her first day, double the average!
"Great," he told her, "I think you're really going to work out." The next day, however, he was disappointed to find that the blonde only accomplished two miles.
The supervisor thought, "Well she's still at the average and I don't want to discourage her, so I'll just keep quiet."
The third day however the blonde only did one mile and the boss thought, "I need to talk to her before this gets any worse."
The boss pulled the new employee in and said, "You
were doing so great. The first day you did four miles,
the second day two miles, but yesterday you only did
one mile. Why? Is there a problem? An injury, equipment failure? What's keeping you from meeting the two-mile minimum?"
The blonde replied, "Well, each day I keep getting
farther and farther away from the bucket."
