Sitting on a park bench, a man watches two city workers. Both have shovels, and as the first guy digs a hole, the second one comes along and fills it back up. For an hour, the two men feverishly labor away, digging and filling.
Finally the man walks over to the workers. “I appreciate how hard you’re both working,” he says. “But what the hell are you actually doing? Every time one of you digs a hole, the other comes and fills it up again!”
“Well,” the hole digger says,”the guy who plants trees is sick today.”
