Uncle Joe's Jealous Foreman

My Uncle Joe got fired from his construction job.

I asked him what happened.

"You know what a foreman is?" he asked.

"Yes, the one who stands around and watches the other men work, but what's that got to do with it?", I asked.

"Well, he just got jealous of me," Uncle Joe explained.

Then I asked, "Why was he jealous of you?"

He said, "Because everyone thought I was the foreman."
