The Comic Strip That Has A Finale Every Day by John "Scully" Scully for April 25, 2022

National Telephone Day

There were 3 crews that worked for a telephone pole company. A German crew, a Norwegian crew, and a Swedish crew.

The foreman told each crew to put in telephone poles for the day and left. At 5:00 PM he came back and asked each crew how many poles they put in.

The German crew tells him they put in 9 poles today.“Good job, head on home” the foreman tells them.

The Norwegian crew tells him they put 11 telephone poles in.“Not bad, see you tomorrow” the foreman says.

Then the leader of the Swedish crew steps up and proudly says, “We put in 3 telephone poles!”

Well the foreman is shocked and says, “You’ve been working all day and you only put in 3 telephone poles? Those Norwegians over there put in 11!”

“Yes,” replies the Swedish man, “But look at how much they left sticking out of the ground.”
