Three contractors... one from Pakistan, another from Germany and the third from England are bidding to repair the White House fence. They go with a White House official to examine the fence. The English contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works on some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says, "I figure the job will cost $ 900 in which $ 400 for materials, $ 400 for labour and $ 100 profit for me."

The German contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $ 700... in which $ 300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $ 100 profit for me."

The Pakistani contractor doesn't measure or do any figuring, but leans over to the White House official and whispers: " $ 2,700. " The official incredulously says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?" "Easy," the Pakistani explains, "$ 1,000 for you, $ 1,000 for me and we hire the guy from Germany to do the work!"

NASA was getting ready to launch space shuttle for a very important mission. The scientists and engineers checked and double checked everything to make sure that things are fine. However, on the day of its launch, something seemed to be wrong. The rocket gave all sorts of noise but never took off even an inch from the ground. The engineers were puzzled because they could not figure out the problem.

There was a Pakistani scientist in the group and he offered the help. NASA people were desperate by that time and agreed to do anything.

"Tilt the rocket 45 degrees to the left" said the Pakistani scientist. The engineers were puzzled but did it anyway. "Bring It back to vertical position" the Pakistani said. The engineers did so. "Now start the engines" he said, and surprisingly, the rocket took off and flew into outer space!

Everybody congratulated him and asked him how he knew what to do. He replied - "It's very simple. This is what we always do with our CD 70 motor bike in Pakistan.
