Neighborly
Advice
A guy decides to build a brick fence in front of his house but
isn’t sure how many pallets of bricks he’ll need.
So he calls his Polish neighbor, who recently built a similar-size
brick fence. “Lech,” he says, “I’m building
a fence almost the same size as yours. How many pallets of bricks
did you get?”
“Ten,”
Lech answers.
So the guy
buys 10 pallets and proceeds to build a beautiful fence. When
he finishes, he’s surprised to find he only used four of
the pallets.
“Hey,
Lech,” he says over the fence, “I just finished building
my fence, and I’ve got six pallets of bricks left over.”
“Yep,”
says Lech. “So did I.”
