So he climbed out of the hole and went to his boss. "Why are we diggingin the hot sun and you're standing in the shade?" "Intelligence," theboss said. "What do you mean, ‘intelligence'?"
The boss said, "Well, I'll show you. I'll put my hand on this tree andI want you to hit it with your fist as hard as you can." The ditchdigger took a mighty swing and tried to hit the boss' hand. The bossremoved his hand and the ditch digger hit the tree. The boss said,"That's intelligence!"
The ditch digger went back to his hole. His friend asked, "What did hesay?" "He said we are down here because of intelligence." "What'sintelligence?" said the friend. The ditch digger put his hand on hisface and said, "Take your shovel and hit my hand."
