road. On the first day he paints ten miles, and his employers are
amazed. But, the second day he painted just five, and on only the
third day, he painted only one mile of the road. Disappointed his boss
asks what the problem was. The Polish man replies, "Well sir, every
day I have to walk farther and farther to get back to the paint
bucket."
