An Italian, a Frenchman and a Chinese man are hired to dig a tunnel

The foreman assigns the tasks before they begin to work.

"Alright Gino here will dig the tunnel, Henri will reinforce it with wood and Wang will be in charge of the supplies."

And so the Italian, the Frenchman and the Chinese man set off to work.

The following afternoon, the foreman comes by to check on the tunnel's progress, and sees that nothing's been done.

Furious, he approaches the Italian man:

"Gino, why haven't you begun digging"
"Mamma mia, the Chinese man, he has not brought me a shovel, idiota!" is the response.

Angrier, the foreman approaches the Frenchman:

"Henri, why haven't you cut the wood reinforcement beams?"
"Mais alors!, the Chinese man, he has not brought me a saw, l'imbecile!" is the response.

So the foreman and his two workers have no choice but to wait for Wang to return with their much-needed supplies. By nightfall, and with no sign of him, they head off to their cars after the wasted day.

As they pass the wooden fence surrounding the work lot, the Chinese man springs up from his hiding spot behind the cars and shouts "SUPLISE!"
