"India Bids For Channel Tunnel" joke
When tenders were floated for the channel tunnel to connect England & France, many international building companies vied with one another to get the contract
The stakes were very high; the job of digging building expertise.
Tenders were opened by the Board of Directors of the Anglo-French corporation which had taken on the project
British builders' estimates were over 200 million dollar, each; French & German builders were marginally lower
There was one from India: Singh & Singh Builders whose estimate was only 5 million dollars
The Board was for ignoring the Indian tender but out of curiosity invited Singh & Singh over to discuss the plans
Banta Singh & Santa Singh of Singh & Singh Builders appeared before the Board
The Chairman asked them "Have you any experience of undertaking this kind of work?
"Indeed we have," replied the two Singhs, "we bored a lot of tubewells in the Punjab & Haryana. We can bore holes anywhere.
"This is not as simple. How will you connect the tunnel from the English side to the French?" "Simple," replied Santa Singh, "Banta Singh will dig from the French end & I from the English.
The Chairman was flabbergasted. "You don't realise that it will need a lot of accurate calculation to get the two tunnels to meet at the same point under the channel. Other companies' estimates are over 200 million dollars each & you think you can do the same job for 5 million dollars. How will that be possible?
"What is bothering you?" demanded Singh & Singh, "if our two tunnels don't meet, instead of one we will give you two tunnels.
