Piles

   An Italian, and Irishman and a Chinese fellow are hired at a construction 
   site.  The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian 
   guy, "You're in charge of sweeping," to the Irishman, "You're in charge of 
   shoveling," and to the Chinese guy, "And you're in charge of supplies."
   
   "Now, I have to leave for a little while.  I expect you guys to make a 
   	dent in that pile."
   
   So the foreman goes away for a couple hours, and when he returns, the pile 
   of sand is untouched.  He says to the Italian, "Why didn't you sweep any 
   of it?"  The Italian replies, "I didn't have a broom.  You said the 
   Chinese guy was in charge of supplies, but he disappeared and I couldn't 
   find him."
   
   So then the foreman turns to the Irishman and asks why he didn't shovel.  
   The Irishman replies, "I couldn't get myself a shovel.  You left the 
   Chinese guy in charge of supplies, but I couldn't find him."
   
   The foreman is really pissed off now, and storms off toward the pile of sand 
   looking for the Chinese guy.  Just then, the Chinese guy springs out from behind
   the pile of sand and yells 'SUPPLIES!"
