Two Pollocks are digging a ditch on a hot day while their Supervisor sits beneath a big tree a few yards away, munching on an apple. The first Pollock starts to get annoyed.

"He just ticks me off," he says to the second.

"Why's that?" the other asks.

"Well, here we are, working our a$$es off under a hot sun, and HE's over there relaxing in the shade... eating an apple. But he get paid more than we do!" the first confides.

"You're right, that sucks." says the second. Then, sarcastically, he adds "I think you should ask him."

"I think I will!" says the irate first Pollock.

So he climbs out of the ditch, goes over to the Supervisor and yells, "Hey, Supervisor! I've got a question for you!!"

"What's that?" says the supervisor.

"My buddy and I wanna know why it is that you're lying here under this tree, not doing a damn thing, while we're working our butts off... but we get paid less than you!"

The Supervisor doesn't bat an eye. "Oh, I guess it's because I'm smarter than you," he says.

At this, the already angry Pollock is further enraged. He begins to shake. His face turns red. He's on the verge of hitting his boss. But he says, "WHAT?????? You're smarter?? YOU'D BETTER BE ABLE TO PROVE THAT, PAL."

The Supervisor gets to his feet and calmly says, "Okay, settle down." He extends his right arm so that it's in front of the tree. He opens his right hand and says, "Hit my hand as hard as you'd like."

"Oh, right," says the Pollock. "If I do that, you'll fire me."

"I won't," says the supervisor. "You've got my word on that. Go ahead and hit it. As hard as you can."

The Pollock can hardly believe it. He says, "Okay, buddy. But you asked for it."

He makes a fist, winds up and swings with all his might at his superior's extended hand. At the last moment, the supervisor pulls his hand away and the Pollock hits the tree full on. He howls, doubles over in pain, clutches his mangled right hand, then slowly makes his way back to the ditch.

"Well?" asks his co-worker. "What did he say?"

The first Pollock was slow to reply, then said "He showed that he's smarter than we are."

This stunned the second. "WHAT? HOW THE HELL DID HE DO THAT?"

The first smiled craftily. "Okay," he said. He raised his left hand, putting it just in front of his face and said, "Hit my hand as hard as you can."
