Sitting on a park bench, a man observed a couple of workmen. At first he was baffled, but soon he was amused. He thought to himself, "Am I seeing what I'm seeing?" One worker would take his shovel and dig a hole two to three feet. The second workman would use his shovel to return the dirt to the hole.
After watching for awhile the man left the bench and asked, "May I ask what you are doing?" The first worker said, "I dig the hole and Charlie puts the plant in the hole and Chester here fills the hole with dirt. Charlie is out sick today."
