Two Irishmen

Two Irishmen, were working for the city public works department.
 

One would dig a hole  and the other would follow behind him and fill the hole in.
 

They  worked up one side of the street, then down the other,  then moved  on to the next street,  working furiously all day without rest, one man digging a hole, the other filling it in again.
 

An  onlooker was amazed at their hard work,  but couldn't understand what  they were doing.
 

So he asked  the hole digger,  "I'm impressed by the  effort you two are putting into your  work, but I don't get it:  why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?"
 

The hole digger wiped  his brow and sighed,  "Well, I suppose  it probably looks odd because we're normally a  three-person team.  But today the lad who plants the
trees
called in sick!"
