The assistant takes the man to the parrot section and asks the man to choose one. The man asks, "How much is the yellow one?" The assistant says, "$2,000." The man is shocked and asks the assistant why it's so expensive. The assistant explains, "This parrot is a very special one. He knows typewriting and can type really fast." "What about the green one?" the man asks. The assistant says, "He costs $5,000 because he knows typewriting and can answer incoming telephone calls and take notes.'' "What about the red one?" the man asks. The assistant says, "That one's $10,000." The man says,"What does HE do?" The assistant says, "Nobody knows, but the other two call him boss." 800.227.7515 sales@littlebeaver.com www.LittleBeaver.com Towable Hydraulic Earth Drills Mechanical Earth Drills UN-Towable Hydraulic Earth Drills Hydraulic Earth Drills Little Beaver Earth Drills cut labor costs in half!
