The Chief said "We need clean drinking water". The PM got on his cell phone and started yelling and flailing his arms for about 5 minutes. He came back to the Chief and said "A crew of Engineers will be here next week. They'll solve the problem".
"What else?" The Chief said we have a nice new medical centre but we need Doctors and Nurses. The PM got back on his phone and went through the same yelling and arm waiving. He hung up and told the Chief "A team of medical professionals will be here next week".
"What is your last wish?" The Chief said ... "We need cell phone service".
ROFL!
Back in the 1870's Washington DC was beginning to get electrical power, and, of course, Congress was wired for lighting. But there was a problem and one day the honorable members of the House began smelling smoke.
The fire department was called, but they weren't really trained on electrical fires. They thought the smoke was coming from a certain wall, so they cut a hole with an axe to see what was in there. Couldn't see a thing, so they cut another hole, then another, and another.. Well, eventually, there was too much ventilation, and the wall just burst into flame!
Yep, problem back then was too many axe holes in Congress. Glad we don't have that today!
