Joke About Spanish Politicians, As Told By A Spaniard

The mayor of Miami asks for tenders for painting the façade of the Town Hall, and he receives 3: one from an Englishman, one from a German, and one from a Spaniard.

The Englishman's is for 3 million dollars, the German's for 6 million, and the Spaniards for 9 million.  Because there's such a difference between the prices, he interviews each of the candidates separately, so they can justify this quote.

The Englishman says that he uses 2 layers of acrylic paint, designed especially for exteriors, and that costs 1 million.  Another million is spent on scaffolding, brushes, equipment, and security, and the rest is for paying the workers.

The German justifies his price by saying he's the best painter, using 3 layers of polyurethane, the cost of which is 3 million.  Scaffolding, other materials, equipment, and security would come to 2 million, and the rest would be for paying the workers.

The last, and the one who won the contract because the mayor considered his budget the best, turned out to be the Spaniard.  He said "Look, mayor.  3 million are for you, another 3 million for me, and we can give the 3 million that are left to the Englishman so he can paint the façade for us."

PS Any resemblance to the politics in your area is pure coincidence...
