How many people work on this building site?
Only about half of them.

The foreman on a building site was always hurrying his workmen to do their jobs more quickly.

One man couldn't stand the pace any more and said to the foreman, 'Let's slow down a bit, Rome wasn't built in a day, you know!'

'Ah, well,' said the foreman, 'I wasn't foreman on that job!'

A foreman was walking around a building site one morning, keeping an eye on the work in progress. He came across one man who appeared to be doing only half the work of the others, so he asked him,

'Why are you only carrying one plank when all the other men are carrying two?'

'Well,' replied the workman, 'they're just too lazy to make a double journey like I do.'
