A lumber company in the Northwest had a project going to harvest a timbered area.  They interviewed Swen, a tall, muscled Swede and set him to work cutting down trees.  They interviewed Mario, a short, broad-shouldered Italian, and set him to work splitting the wood.  And they interviewed Lee, a slightly built Chinese man.  Lee was placed in charge of supplies, and they showed him the warehouse.

Several weeks later the boss came back to check on progress.  Most of the trees were felled and split, so the boss was happy with Swen and Mario.  “Let’s go look at the warehouse.”

The boss opened the door and the warehouse was dark.  The light switch didn’t work. He tripped over some boxes.  “Where is that Lee character?”

Suddenly Lee jumps out from behind some boxes and yells, “Supplies!”
