corruption joke

the foreign minister of country A, visited the foreign minister of richer country B. At B's house, A was suprised that B could stay in such a big house with 2 servants, a BMW 745, porsche 911 turbo and a swimming pool. he asked B how he could afford such a lavish lifestyle on a civil servant's salary.

"you see the roads? you see the bridges? you see the skyscrapers? you see the subway? everything they build, i take 5%."

A returned to his country, and a year later, it was B's turn to visit A. B was stunned to see A's house. He had a servant's quarters, a lamborghini murcielargo, aston martin DB9, and tennis and basketball courts. B asked A how he managed to amass such a fortune.

"you see the roads? you see the bridges? you see the skyscrapers? you see the subway?"

puzzled, B replied: "no, i don't see any."

"well, everything they tried to build, i took 100%."
