Weird Goings on in the Park

I happened to find myself in the park, sitting and enjoying nature for a bit, when I observed a parks truck appear. One blonde woman got out and proceeded to dig a hole, and when she was done, another blonde woman got out and put the dirt back in the hole.
I scratched my head wondering what they were up to.
They drove a little farther into the park and the same thing happened. The first blonde got out and dug a hole and the other one got out and put the dirt back into it.
By the third time I saw this happen my curiosity got the better of me and so I walked over to them and asked them what they were doing.
"We're planting new trees," one of the women told me.
I was perplexed. "But I have only seen you dig a hole and then you putting dirt back into it. Where are the trees?"
The first blonde woman smiled and said, "Oh, we're actually a crew of three, but the other girl who plants the trees called in sick today."

I should have known right from the beginning this was a joke! But the funny thing is, I worked in municipal government for decades, and I can tell you government workers did stupid stuff like this all the time.

@porwest Yeah, that sounds like something that could really happen. When it comes to government stupidity, nothing surprises me.

@moffittjc I believe "stupidity" is one of the definitions offered for the word "government."

There used to be a *.gif that floated around in Wisconsin in the winter that depicted two snow plows. One on the bridge and one below. The plow on the bottom would blow the snow to the top of the bridge and the one on the bridge would send the snow to the road below and this would repeat over and over again. lol
