Brian is hired to paint lines on the road.
The first day Brian paints 2 kilometres of the road, and the boss is very impressed.
The second day he paints 1km of road, the boss is wondering why it’s less than the day before, but gives him a chance.
On the third day, he only paints 500m of road and the boss is not happy, but he is a forgiving guy and decides to give Brian one more day.
On the fourth day, he only paints 250m of road and the boss calls him to a meeting.
“Brian, the first day you painted 2km of road, how come you only painted 250m today?”
…

“Boss, the distance to the paint bucket gets longer and longer every day.”
A lumber camp was looking for a new lumberjack
A large, well-established, lumber camp advertised that they were looking for a good lumberjack. The very next day, a skinny little man showed up at the camp with his axe and knocked on the head lumberjack’s door.
The head lumberjack took one look at the little man and told him to leave.
“Just give me a chance to show you what I can do,” said the skinny man.
“Okay, see that giant redwood over there?” said the lumberjack. “Take your axe and go cut it down.”
The skinny man headed for the tree, and in five minutes he was back knocking on the lumberjack’s door.
“I cut the tree down,” said the man.
The lumberjack couldn’t believe his eyes and said: “Where did you get the skill to chop down trees like that?”
“In the Sahara Forest,” replied the man.
“You mean the Sahara Desert,” said the lumberjack.

The little man laughed and answered back: “Sure, that’s what they call it NOW!”
