Taffy, a blonde, needed some extra cash, so she begged her friend at
the highway department for a job - any job at all.

"Sure," he said. "I always have job openings to paint the lines down the
center of the roads. Would you be interested in painting stripes?"

Taffy agreed and began working immediately. The first day she painted
five miles of stripes. The next day she painted three miles. But on the
third day, she only painted one mile of stripes.

The supervisor took Taffy aside and asked her what was wrong. "You
worked so hard and painted so fast the first couple of days. Why are
you working so slowly now?"

Taffy replied, "Because the bucket keeps getting farther away."
