On the same subject, monkey hanger, which of course has nothing whatsoever to do with this thread, here is another little story.

A few years ago a friend, Bobby, worked for Telstra. Telstra employees had the same reputation for work ethic that Council workers have. This particular day Bobby’s crew had travelled quite a long way to the site of their job. On reaching their destination it was discovered that they had inadvertently left the shovels behind. Bobby phoned the boss back at base and asked if he could send the shovels. The boss asked Bobby if they have any long-handled brooms, to which Bobby replied that they had. ‘Well’ said the boss ‘you will just have to make do with those to lean on until I can get the shovels to you’.
