How to get Government Contracts Fast and Profitable

3 contractors are bidding to clean some carpet at the White House in D.C. One from New Jersey, another from Alabama and the third from Florida. They go with a White House official to examine the carpet. The Florida contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well" he says, "I figure the job will run about $9000. $4000 for materials, $4000 for my crew and a $1000 profit for me" The Alabama contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $7000; $3000 for materials, $3000 for my crew and $1000 profit for me" The New Jersey contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$27000" The official incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?" The New Jersey contractor whispers back, "$10000 for me, $10000 for you, and we hire the guy from Alabama to clean the carpet". "Done!", replies the government official

Here's an even better way. Say you're from Haliburton and you could get the job for 27 million.
