so it must be politically correct:

The Night Watchman

Once upon a time the Canadian Government had a vast scrap yard in the middle
of
nowhere.

The Government said, "Someone may steal from the scrap yard at night." So
they
created a night watchman position and hired a person, (bilingual, naturally)
for the
job.

Then the Government said, "How can the watchman do his job without
instruction?"
So they created a Planning Department and hired two people; one person to
write
the job description and one person to do time studies.

Then the Government said, "How will we know the night watchman is performing
the
tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two
people;
one to do the studies and one to write the reports.

Then the Government said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they
created
the following positions: a Time Keeper and a Payroll Officer; then hired two
more
people to assist.

Then the Government said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"
So they
created an administrative Section and hired three people: an Administrative
Officer,
an Assistant Administrative Officer and a Legal Secretary.

Then the Government said, "We have had this organization in operation for
only one
year and we are $25,000 over budget; we must cutback our overall costs."

So they laid off the night watchman !

He spoke Arabic, as well as English?
